Fun to have another talk in Europe!

There will be new details on vectors, and we will explain hardware thread switching for the first time too.

I'm working on the slides now

How do I watch this? I might be able to arrange being in Amsterdam, but I'm not usually at a university.

Hmm... A friday... I will have to take a day off from work if I'm going to attend.

You don't need to be uni student to attend, you just need to get your ticket real fast

Do you happen to know the time schedule for that day? I can't be there the full working day so if it comes out right I can go, otherwise it'd be a waste of a day.

I'm afraid the exact schedule is likely to be fixed last minute and subject to change. It always always is. Its a major frustration for speakers and retinue but its always this way

If you go to a few conferences, you'll learn they always make last minute changes to the schedule and whatever is printed out in the info pack is completely misleading.

So have you tried asking your boss if you can attend the whole thing on the company's time and money (it costs €8,50! I can't have read the right...). I don't know your own circumstances, Candy, but companies usually encourage this.

It's not the €8.50 - heck, I've had lunches that were more expensive that didn't include an IT conference - it's whether I can even make the talk. I have to take my kids to daycare and then depart for Amsterdam (1.5 hours drive, so 9:30 earliest), and then come back on time to pick them up (so no later than 15:30 departure in Amsterdam). Plus take a day off.

Which would be pointless if I can then not actually see your talk, as it looks to me to be the only one I'd really want to see. Hence why I'm asking.

Thank you kindly

They have now published an official schedule and the Mill is on for two straight hours: 13:00 to 15:00

We have so much new details we can share that we're in serious danger of overrun, and there's usually demand to have further talks in lobbies, corners and side rooms during the whole rest of the day.

Amateur recordings and bloggings are encouraged - somehow the organisers of events generally mess up the video and never get around to publishing it even when they set up cameras and everything

Ticket bought, day taken off. Will see you there!

Combuster · **Posted:** Wed Mar 25, 2015 2:33 pm

I got my confirmation today. See you there!

A new talk video has been posted online: http://millcomputing.com/topic/compiler/

It describes a lot of stuff and answers questions asked by the crowd and osdevers in Amsterdam.
