Invitations to WineConf
Hey folks, Last year we said that we were going to try to broaden our invitations to the Wine conference to try to draw in more voices. This means potentially asking users, and making personal appeals to people that we would like to have at the conference. I plan to write a few personal notes extending invitations to folks that I've thought of (or have had suggested to me). James in our office is also going to reach out. But I'd like to ask everyone to help with that process. Roseanne, I'm particularly hoping you can reach out to the wine users in some way. A post on the forums? Could we / should we do a big news item so it's on the main page? I've asked PlayOnLinux folks as well as the Wineskin folks to come. Anyone else? Cheers, Jeremy

I'd do both. The forum announcement should come from you rather than me. Maybe make the main page announcement a WWN article? My big question is: what are you planning for users? Users who don't live near enough to just drop in will want to know what's on the agenda before deciding.

AppDB admins and maintainers? Most won't be interested, but some long-time, very active ones might. It's very easy to send an email to all of them through the AppDB. -- Rosanne DiMesio dimesio(a)earthlink.net

Really? I would bet that on the Wine forums your name is better known and better loved than mine.

That's a good question. I think the key note and the socializing tend to work for users as well as they do for developers. The only concrete idea I have is to have a session titled something like: "What do users need?" We often say it would be nice to have the Agenda ahead of time, but efforts on that front often fall short. Arguably, we should have a visible schedule and at least a suggestion of an Agenda (and perhaps a link to last years Agenda would help people have a sense of the topics). I'll work with Jacek on getting a framework up. If others have suggestions, they can add them there.

I think that would be a great idea. Cheers, Jeremy

I hope to come this year (too early to say for sure). You might reach out to other packagers, iirc you planned that last year. q4wine guy(s?) might also be interested (but I don't know much about that). Greets jre

I can forward your email to the ReactOS mailing lists if you'd like. -Alex
