more on wineconf 2002

[Michael Robertson]

I've fielded a few questions from people who are interested in wineconf 2002.

http://net2.com/lindows/hotels.htm For a list of hotels. The best on the 
cheap/close scale would probably probably be Homestead which are really 
nice suites (have a little kitchen I believe).

Sorry about the short notice (by Feb 14th). That's of course not the cutoff 
to attend, but just the cutoff for those of you to attend that want 
Lindows.com to pick up the airfare.

We don't intend on advertising it to the general public so we keep a high 
caliber of attendee. The only place the notification has gone is wine-devel 
list. We currently have about 15 people signed up. Alexandre told me to 
tell you he's coming if that will help get more people here.

Please continue to send in your ideas about topics and speakers. This will 
help make the conference as informative and rewarding as possible.

We'll also have a fun event planned for one of the evenings on Lindows.com 
so we'll try to make it a good social event as well as technical.

Just to clarify my position, I'll be going, provided that there are
enough other developers to make it worth it. In fact that seems to be
the general sentiment around here: "I'll go if you go"  <g>

I'll go if Alexandre goes, and I have signed up (it's only two hours
away by car for me, so it's easy.)

I'm just a Wine fan, not a real developer, at the moment,
but I hope to start contributing regression tests and 
patches once the regression test framework is up.

I hope a few people there will want to chat about Windows API standardization;
see http://www.kegel.com/remedy/remedy2.html#fix.info for how
I would like to see the antitrust settlement address that.

Dear Michael,

as a possible topic for the conferences, I have in mind that Dr. Ulrich
Weigand (weigand(a)informatik.uni-erlangen.de), a long time high profile
wine contributor, could be invited for a talk. I image he could talk about
something like the chances of using native user.dll in the present wine
architecture, but if he prefers to talk about other subject, we sure will
get food for thoughts.

Best regards
