I received this today... it seems Lindows seem to want to host a Wine conference. I noticed that they misspelled Alexandre's name and email address, though they claim to work with him.
Well, I'm not suprised. I'm not 100% sure how his last name is spelled. I usually cut and paste or more often, only use his first name. :-)
Since this is supposed to be an open conference anyway, and it's not a secret (most of the mail is just a straight dump of the webpage they link to anyway), I decided to forward it to wine-devel (but without the HTML).
Hmm. I noticed people on the special invitition list (that get air transportion payed) must register by 13th February, 2002. It is only a week until then, they could have given us some more time to consider it, I think. Anyway, I'm slightly intrested in coming. Providing of course that at least a few of the Wine people will come. I'm not particularly intrested in travelling at least 12 hours by air to only talk to the Lindows.com people. Anybody else interested? PS. Does anybody know if a VISA to the US is required for citizens of the European Union countries (like Sweden)?

I don't know about Sweden, but you definitely DON'T need a visa if you're a UK citizen; there's a list of countries eligible for the "visa waiver program", under which you just sign a declaration that you are not a Nazi war criminal, terrorist or drug dealer, and don't have any criminal record. I don't have the list of countries eligible, but I'd imagine Sweden will be on it too... James.

In case there's any doubt how this works, it's simple, this declaration is a green form which you can either get at the airport check-in desk, or from the flight attendants while in-flight (they usually hand them out when the airplane approaches its destination). You give the filled-out declaration to the passport-checking guys at the airport. As Norway is in this visa waiver program, I've experienced it in practice...

People from Macadamian might be going, it all depends on our various schedules. (Right now it is looking like a go, but won't know for sure for a few days) -James -- James Hatheway james(a)macadamian.com ~ http://www.macadamian.com Software Designer - Macadamian Technologies, Inc. -- Software experts for the world's leading technology companies.
