Week 2 at Google Summer of Code @LLVM.org: Progress and Presentations

Posted by Chaitanya Shahare on Sun, May 19, 2024

Hello, everyone!

Week 2 of my Google Summer of Code journey at LLVM.org has been both productive and engaging. Here’s a quick recap of the progress made and key activities from this week.

Advancing the Project

This week, I focused on completing the first drafts of the Request for Comments (RFC) and the community survey. These documents are crucial for conducting a preliminary content audit and gathering community feedback on the LLVM.org website redesign. They are currently under review by my mentors, Tanya Lattner and Vassil Vassilev.

Community Engagement

I attended the weekly Compiler as a Service (CAAS) meeting with the compiler-research team. During the meeting, I provided updates on my progress and presented an introduction to the “LLVM.org Website Redesign GSoC Project”. This presentation helped to familiarize the team with the project’s goals and my plans for the redesign. You can view the presentation here.
