Update on WRS offer & Stuttgart University
by David Gümbel Jan. 3, 2005

Jan. 3, 2005

Hi everybody, - some news: I tried to contact Mr. Gemkow of the University of Stuttgart several times (via telephone), but no luck so far - maybe he's on a conference, sick, or simply overworked. Mr. Schmid, the head of the WRS, has asked me to forward the offer to you (see below). Bye, David *** WINEConf Stuttgart Region - About and support of Stuttgart Region The Stuttgart Region Economic Development Corporation (WRS) is - founded to provide services to industry and communities in the field of economic development - a subsidiary of the administrative body of the larger Stuttgart Region - provides marketing for the Stuttgart Region - assists in cluster management of specific industries - advises and assists companies during the search for available sites and buildings In the context of our initiative "Open Source Region Stuttgart" http://opensource.region-stuttgart.de the WRS supports conferences and meetings of Open Source projects of various aspects when held in the Stuttgart Region. For example the WRS is co-organizer of the KDE Community World Summit 2004 in Ludwigsburg near Stuttgart http://conference2004.kde.org/ . The Perlworkshop 6.0 , GUADEC6 (GNOME Conference) http://2005.guadec.org/papers.html , ApacheCon Europe and more than 40 other Open Source Events in the Stuttgart Region are organized or supported by the WRS as well. WRS would like to help to organise a successful WINEConf 2005 in Stuttgart Region. We did some resarch on possible conference venues. As there are: QUADRIUM WERNAU, http://www.quadrium-wernau.de Wernau is easily reachable in 25 minutes from Stuttgarts main railway station. As the Stuttgart Region is located in the middle of Europe there is absolutely no doubt that the conference can be reached easily with direct flights from nearly every European country. Overseas guests can reach Stuttgart from the Frankfurt Airport in 1,5 hours or directly with Delta from Atlanta. Conference venue in Wernau has been opened in April 2005 and is completed by a wellness-area http://www.wellness-wernau.de/ . The infrastructure of the venue fullfills "Wineconf Requirements List v0.2". The possible date is from 23th-25th of April 2005. WRS can pay the rent for the conference venue if we can become a co-organizer of WINEConf. The costs for the technical equipment ans personal staff has to be organised and paid by the WINE project. WRS will try to find local (technical) sponsors in the region. There is no hotel for more than 60 persons in Wernau. Conference guest have to sleep in two different hotels. Pricing of hotels is ok. K3N, NUERTIMGEN, http://www.k3n.de Nuertingen is easily reachable in 25 minutes from Stuttgarts main railway station. The infrastructure of the venue fullfills "Wineconf Requirements List v0.2". The possible date is from 23th-25th of April 2005. There are enough hotels next to the conference venue. WRS can pay the rent for the conference venue if we can become a co-organizer of WINEConf. The costs for the technical equipment ans personal staff has to be organised and paid by the WINE project. WRS suggests Nuertingen as conference venue. WRS can help and organize · Local/regional and German wide press work to jointly market the conference · Suggestions for social program & infrastructure for attendees (in part by our sister organization Regio Stuttgart Marketing) · Assistance in targeting potential local sponsors of the event · Help to recruit local helpers from the 10 Linux user groups in the region CONTACT Hans-Ulrich Schmid Wirtschaftsförderung Region Stuttgart GmbH Stuttgart Region Economic Development Corporation FIR_st - Forum IT-Region Stuttgart Friedrichstr. 10 70174 Stuttgart www.first.region-stuttgart.de www.opensource.region-stuttgart.de www.competenzatlas.de www.region-stuttgart.de Tel ++49.711.22835 - 27 Tel mobil ++49.172.7310463 Fax ++49.711.22835 - 55 ***

wineconf: action items

(mailing list working???? ... we'll see) Okay, taking in everything on the list, it looks like the #1 item that needs to happen is Jeremy needs to put David and Ulrich in touch with each other. I say we give it a few days. At that point, maybe we should see if Michael or Andi can find a contact there. Everything else seems to rely on finding a meeting place. Second, I heard a tip that Linux New Media might be interested in giving some $$$ in return for some modest promotion. I'll pursue this once we seem to have a definite location. -Brian
