A few updates to the SBCL20 arrangements: Firstly, the venue, for planning hotel stays and similar: the Monday and Tuesday sessions will be at Bundesrechenzentrum, in central Vienna <https://osm.org/go/0JrJKLq1C?layers=N&m=>. Secondly, the programme. I expect that there will be substantial time on both technical days devoted to unconference-like activities: small-group discussions on crowdsourced topics; pair programming or debugging; other ad-hoc activities driven by the attendees. But there will also be space for full-group contributions, such as demo and lightning talk sessions, as well as longer talks; I'm pleased to be able to say that Robert Smith from Rigetti Computing will be attending, and talking about why SBCL's new powerpc64 backend matters for Quantum Computing. The sign-up form is at https://forms.gle/FfHF8W8ptyPfMJir8 -- as a slight modification to the previous policy, please fill it in if you are certainly or probably coming; we won't take the form filled in as a firm commitment, but more than a mere expression of interest. Best wishes, Christophe
