I'll look at writing them up after the conference. Perhaps the wiki is a better place to do the writeup, that way people can add their own notes and add to what is there. - Reece

Just being brutal about this - in years past, I felt we made a critical mistake in trying to do streaming audio or video. It never worked, was a distraction, and I'm not sure it ever benefited anyone. An obvious exception could be the keynote. Beyond that, my opinion is that irc chat logs, or emailed summaries are more useful. Cheers, Jeremy "ifdown eth0" White Mike Hearn wrote: > I'll ask Lucy about videos tomorrow.

I'll ask Lucy about videos tomorrow. I don't know how long we can record using the Google equipment but we make videos pretty regularly, so an unedited video stream might be plausible. Otherwise if somebody has a camera they want to bring along, feel free ... don't trust me to get video-recording sorted at this stage :/ On 10/2/07, James Hawkins <truiken(a)gmail.com> wrote: > On 10/2/07, Mike Hearn <mike(a)plan99.net> wrote: > > Hello, > > > > If you're on the wineconf mailing list, you already received all the > > details for this weekend.

Re: Alexandre Julliard : ntdll: Remove assumptions that the subheap is at the beginning of the memory block .

by Allan Tong

> ntdll: Remove assumptions that the subheap is at the beginning of the memory block. In HEAP_CreateSubHeap, shouldn't the return value also be changed, e.g. return "&((HEAP*)address)->subheap" if a main heap was created? - Allan

There are two reasons: 1. That name is a pseudonym, and we only accept patches from people using their real names. 2. Mr. Focht's contributions are valuable for understanding what MS is up to from time to time, but he does use a disassembler, and that's not allowed from Wine contributors. --Juan
