Title: "First measurement of gamma at LHCb: one CP violation phase, 
        many different approaches" 

Abstract: The first measurement of the CKM angle gamma at LHCb has recently been released.  
This important milestone could be achieved through the combination of several different 
results. Why is the measurement of gamma needed? Why is it challenging? Which precision 
has LHCb achieved and what can be envisaged for the future?  We will remind the case 
for a precise measurement of this fundamental parameter of the Standard Model and discuss 
present and future approaches.
