OCaml Workshop 2020 Online Conference is live now

Edit: OCaml 2020 is currently live and freely available online.

Edit 2: The non-youtube link for the Chinese audience.

ICFP 2020 is officially online, the OCaml workshop is on Friday but there are a few interesting presentations that you can watch before that. You don’t need a registration to be able to view the presentations. If you registered, you can use the clowdr platform to ask questions.

During the OCaml 2020 Workshop, we plan to enable other means of communication so that everyone could participate in the Workshop, even without the registration. We will keep you posted. Both video presentations and talk abstracts will be available on Friday. We hope to set up the live broadcasting of the Q&A sessions as well, in the way how it is set up for the main ICFP event.

Here is the link to the program, which also references the YouTube and Bilibili live streams. Some highlights, the paper Kindly bent to free us by @Drup will be live in a half an hour, and @avsm Retrofitting parallelism onto OCaml is only half and an hour away!

Is there some way to see talks that have passed?

Sure, the link to the first session is still working, despite that the session itself is no longer live. You can rewind to any place. Here is also the link to the second session and the third session is only 17 hours away :slight_smile:

I believe, that later they will split those sessions and provide a video per each paper, though I am not absolutely sure. What I am sure is that this is how it will be done for the OCaml workshop.

Sorry, I’m a little bit confused - is the talk on retrofitting parallelism onto OCaml separate from the Affe one? When is it happening?

Yes, they are two different talks, sorry, I messed up with the links, now they stand corrected :slight_smile:

Both talks were already presented, but will be repeated on Tuesday morning (well, in Europe morning). Authors will be present on clowdr for questioning, well at least @Drup has promised to be there. It is roughly seven hours from the time of posting.

It’s weird, it’s as if this particular topic is getting hidden :slight_smile:

It is covered at this time stamp: https://youtu.be/ASX79I0jm6M?t=6198

But, weirdly, unlike all the other segments in the session, it’s not tagged properly.

Do not forget that we have handcrafted high-quality subtitles available for each talk, thanks to our volunteers from the Organizing Committee. And, even a translation to French of some of our talks, thanks to Enzo Crance.
