 PyPy status talk (a.k.a.: no no, PyPy is not dead)
 ===================================================
 
-In this talk we will present the current status of PyPy, with a particular
-focus on what happened in the last two years, since the last EuroPython PyPy
-talk.  We will give a brief overview of the current speed and the on-going
-development efforts, including but not limited to:
+Abstract
+--------
 
-- the status of the JIT and PyPy performance in general
+The current status of PyPy, with a particular focus on what happened in
+the last two years, since the last EuroPython PyPy talk.  We will give a
+brief overview of the current speed and the on-going development efforts
+on the JIT, the GC, NumPy, Python 3 compatibility, CFFI, STM...
 
-- the improvements on the Garbage Collector
 
-- the status of numpy and Python 3 compatibility
+Description
+-----------
 
-- the status and ideas of the STM (Software Transactional Memory) research
-  project, which aims to solve the GIL problem
+In this talk we will present the current status of PyPy, with a
+particular focus on what happened in the last two years, since the last
+EuroPython PyPy talk.  We will give an overview of the current speed and
+the on-going development efforts, including but not limited to:
+
+- the status of the Just-in-Time Compiler (JIT) and PyPy performance in
+  general;
+
+- the improvements on the Garbage Collector (GC);
+
+- the status of the NumPy and Python 3 compatibility subprojects;
+
+- CFFI, which aims to be a general C interface mechanism for both
+  CPython and PyPy;
+
+- a quick overview of the STM (Software Transactional Memory) research
+  project, which aims to solve the GIL problem.
+
+This is the "general PyPy status talk" that we give every year at
+EuroPython (except last year; hence the "no no, PyPy is not dead" part
+of the title of this talk).
