Measuring the health of the LLVM community - Dr. Jeremy Bennett
In this short talk, Jeremy looks at how data mining of git activity and mailing lists can give insight to the health for a community project. The talk offers no prescriptions, its purpose is to share techniques that may be useful to the community.

Speaker Bio
Jeremy Bennett is Chief of Executive of Embecosm, a specialist open source consultancy, best known for its work with compiler and AI tool chains. He is author of the standard textbook "Introduction to Compiling Techniques" (McGraw-Hill 1990, 1995, 2003).

C++ interoperability with memory-safe languages - Dr. Gabor Horvath
As the adoption of memory-safe languages increases and code written in memory-unsafe languages remain widespread, polyglot projects—where multiple languages interact—are becoming more common. This introduces new challenges around ensuring safe, efficient, and ergonomic interoperability between these languages. This talk aims to spark a conversation about how Clang can evolve to better facilitate interoperability with memory-safe languages.

Speaker Bio
Gábor Horváth has been an active contributor to the LLVM project for over a decade, focusing primarily on Clang tooling including the Clang Static Analyzer, compiler warnings, and Clang Tidy. He is one of the Clang Static Analyzer maintainers and authored many checks over the years. He also played a key role in implementing a lifetime analysis (P1179) in a Clang fork and in MSVC. His contributions include cross translation unit analysis in the Clang Static Analyzer, new on-by-default lifetime warnings in the compiler and help advancing the design of a new dataflow analysis framework in Clang. Recently, Gábor has led efforts at Apple to make interoperability of C++ with memory-safe languages like Swift safer. Outside of LLVM, he has worked on MSVC's code analysis tools at Microsoft.
