Hi, Seeing as how we are closing in on 4 months away from the traditional Wineconf time, I figured now was as good as time as any to send a note out. How do people feel about Amsterdam this time around? Thanks -- Steven Edwards "There is one thing stronger than all the armies in the world, and that is an idea whose time has come." - Victor Hugo

I spoke with a few Samba developers at the Ubuntu Developer Summit this week, and the consensus was that it would be very nice if we could colocate the conferences again (or have the sequentially). I suggest we reach out immediately. Thanks, Scott Ritchie

That would place us either in the US around the CIFS conference in September or in Europe around SambaXP time in April. The alternative would be to just invite the Samba team to join us for WineConf. I'm happy to pass on an invitation.

Doing them sequentially as Scott suggests would be better I think, based upon the WineConf in Germany. We only have a limited amount of time and don't want it to be too much Samba and not enough Wine. -- Steven Edwards "There is one thing stronger than all the armies in the world, and that is an idea whose time has come." - Victor Hugo

Huh? I didn't want to imply anything else. I'm just saying that there's two conferences that make most Samba developers travel around to meet. Those are SambaXP and the CIFS conference. So if we want to have WineConf sequentially with one of these events, those are the ones to aim for. SambaXP is always in Göttingen, Germany, in late April. We already missed it for this year. The second one is always in Silicon Valley, in September. We don't want to meet in the US this year, either. So at least for this year, this isn't going to work. Now, my suggestion for this year was to invite interested Samba developers to join us at WineConf. There's quite a few European Samba developers. Scott said something about talking to a couple of Samba developers at UDC. I guess that Jelmer Vernooij was one of them, and he's Dutch. So for him it's easy to get to Enschede. A couple of other folks are based in Germany, so it's possible they might join in as well. That's all that I wanted to say.

Sure I know there are plenty of Samba developers that follow Wine and are interested in it, and by all means we should try to get them to come. It was privately said to me, that there was too much Samba and not enough Wine at Wineconf in Stuttgart. Just trying to avoid that, thats all. -- Steven Edwards "There is one thing stronger than all the armies in the world, and that is an idea whose time has come." - Victor Hugo

Well, we don't have to. Scott brought it up. Kai -- Kai Blin WorldForge developer http://www.worldforge.org/ Wine developer http://wiki.winehq.org/KaiBlin Samba team member http://www.samba.org/samba/team/ -- Will code for cotton.
