The last part of October brings us a whole pile of events, with many of them featuring talks by Igalians. After the month ends, we’re looking forward to a couple of events in November. Here’s where we’ll be presenting talks:

• RISC-V Summit North America, October 22–23 —  this community-curated gathering of RISC-V developers in Santa Clara, CA, will feature a number of talks, and among them will be “Unlocking 15% More Performance: A Case Study in LLVM Optimization for RISC-V” by Mikhail Gadelha, an exploration of ways to improve performance on RISC-V processors in upstream LLVM, achieving better SPEC 2017 benchmark results.
• GStreamer Conference, October 23–24, followed by the GStreamer Hackfest — at this annual gathering for developers, community members, students and anyone else interested in the GStreamer multimedia framework, Igalians will be on site in London to present three full talks and three lightning talks:

We always enjoy talking with people, so if you find yourself at one of the above events, please take a moment to say hi!
