FreeBSD Developer Summit Toolchain Working Group

Thursday May 10th, room will be announced when it is known.

As part of the May 2012 FreeBSD developer summit, this working group will focus on the FreeBSD toolchain. This is a by-invitation event open to developer summit attendees interested in this topic. This working group is to discuss the status and issues of the FreeBSD base system toolchain. It is an umbrella for a number of independent efforts working on toolchain enhancements, including support for clang.

If you would like to participate, contact the chairperson below and CC devsummit@. You will be then added to this page. Please include a list of things you want to talk about or the areas you are interested in. This helps in planning the session and to bring people together with common interests.
