Mailing list traffic
by Francois Gouget 19 Apr '24

19 Apr '24

With GitLab and the spinning off of commit messages to wine-gitlab I think the traffic estimates on the mailing list page need to be updated... at least for wine-devel: it no longer has 50 messages per day. https://www.winehq.org/forums (unfortunately there is no unit on the little per mailing-list graph) -- Francois Gouget <fgouget(a)free.fr> http://fgouget.free.fr/ Theory is where you know everything but nothing works. Practice is where everything works but nobody knows why. Sometimes they go hand in hand: nothing works and nobody knows why.

The future of WineConf
by Alexandre Julliard 27 Jan '24

27 Jan '24

Folks, As you may have noticed, we haven't been making any plans for WineConf this year. Jeremy has been busy preparing his retirement, and I haven't been pushing it either, mostly because I'm not convinced that we want to continue the traditional WineConf model. Even though we skipped a few years because of the pandemic, attendance at last year's WineConf wasn't great. We also suggested meeting at FOSDEM in February, like we did in previous years, but essentially no one showed up. So I'm wondering whether there is still enough interest for a traditional WineConf, or whether we should try a different approach, to maybe capture some of the recent excitement around gaming and downstream uses of Wine in general. I'd like to hear your thoughts. Should we do a Proton conference, or join some kind of gaming-related event? Do people even want to travel to conferences anymore? What kind of event would you be interested in, particularly those of you who don't show up to the traditional WineConf? -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.org

Vacations
by Alexandre Julliard 25 Jul '23

25 Jul '23

Folks, I'll be out on vacation for about 3 weeks starting today. I'm still planning to review and commit merge requests, but the timing will be slower and more random than usual. I'll also skip the August 4 release, so Wine 8.14 will be out on August 18. Have fun while I'm gone ;-) -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.org
