So I wasn't able to attend the developer meeting this year, even though I had signed up for it. This was a big disappointment to me, particularly because I had hoped to get some hands-on assistance for some unsolved problems that I have been struggling with for the last six months or so. Unfortunately, some of these problems aren't easily reducible to a simple test case which I can send as an email attachment, and of the ones I do post on this list, about half go unanswered (not that I'm casting blame, I know how these things go.) In any case, I figured I would simply put those problems aside and then bring my laptop to the developer meeting and possibly get one or more of the LLVM experts to spend some time with me. And then I had to go and miss the meeting. 
So I kind of wonder if there are possibly other opportunities for face-to-face interaction with the LLVM folks, on a smaller but more frequent basis than the annual developer meeting. Something like a user group?
