I could perhaps give a high-level overview (no slides, just whiteboard & projected code) on the GHC compilation pipeline. I don't expect it would be terribly hands-on, though I would hope to get lots of questions from the audience. This might most easily come before Simon's presentation, which would doubtless be more detailed.</div><div dir="auto" style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;" class=""><br class=""></div><div dir="auto" style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;" class="">I'm happy to assist others in their hacking efforts, too.</div><div dir="auto" style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;" class=""><br class=""></div><div dir="auto" style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;" class="">I'll be around Fri - Sun.</div><div dir="auto" style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;" class=""><br class=""></div><div dir="auto" style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;" class="">Richard<br class=""><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Apr 23, 2019, at 12:51 PM, Andreas Herrmann <<a href="mailto:andreash87@gmx.ch" class="">andreash87@gmx.ch</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div class="">Dear GHC devs,</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">This year's ZuriHac 2019 [1] will again feature a dedicated GHC track to foster contributions to GHC and teach newcomers how to participate in GHC's development.
