WineConf Agenda
by Brian Vincent April 4, 2005

April 4, 2005

I'm going to start this off with a huge apology - there's a very real chance I've asked someone to do a presentation and it's not on this list. If so, you need to email me to remind me. If you were definitely planning on presenting something because I emailed you, let me know - there's lots of space available. I know this only affects 2 or 3 people, but I tossed around a few ideas and didn't want to leave any loose ends. (Any of those items would make nice topics.) This is the initial agenda for WineConf. I hope to add a few more items, but Jeremy suggested I pull the trigger and announce it. I agree - there's enough here to fill two days and leave a lot of time for people to get together in small groups. Only the first two items are in any formal order: Alexandre - Keynote (He said he's reusing last year's slides.) Dimi - to do list / status update Steven Edwards and the ReactOS crew Charles W Stevenson - Winelib / Winelib porting / and a commercial perspective Andrew Barlett / Samba team? - Samba 4, authentication, lots of intelligent ideas Juan Lang - Wine's RPC + Samba or something like that :) Jeremy White - CXTest Jason Edmeades - DirectX 9 / wined3d / eye candy I think a full agenda would be about 11 items. If you would like to present something let me know - there's definitely space available. If you've been wondering, "There's a neat project I'd like to do if I could only get a few more people interested", well, this is the perfect time to bring it up. If there's something strategic to Wine development, this is a great time to discuss it. For example, we've had mixed feelings regarding revision control and its been suggested to bring it up as a topic. Would anyone find it useful to discuss subversion vs. arch vs. cvs? We could probably get Mike Hearn to show off how he manages patches with SVK and then let him arm wrestle Alexandre about whether arch is better. Friday night we will have an informal dinner after meeting up at the hotel. The conference will kick off Saturday morning on campus around 8am. Lunch will be provided on Saturday and Sunday as well as dinner on Saturday. There will definitely be a lot of time for informal discussion. For the Samba guys - I think there's a great opportunity to share some knowledge to prevent anyone from reinventing the wheel. If there's any topic you'd find interesting, let me know. If you'd just like to hear a specific topic from the Wine folks, we can arrange that. For travel arrangements, please join wineconf(a)winehq.org ( http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wineconf ) For instance, I'm actually flying into Frankfurt on April 23rd and it'd be cool to hang out with anyone arriving early. If you haven't made reservations at a hotel, don't worry too much. There's still rooms available as Mr. Schmid described here: http://www.winehq.com/hypermail/wine-devel/2005/03/1119.html If you haven't signed up on the RSVP list, please do so. It can be found on the WineConf page: http://www.winehq.com/site/wineconf Lastly, if you have any questions / comments / criticisms let me know. -Brian PS. Dimi owes me a beer from last year, so we're all obligated to go out Friday night. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone in Stuttgart!

The DDK headers come from Mingw and are public domain and we have kept this license in our tree so Wine could import them from ReactOS svn at any time.

ReactOS at Wineconf
by Steven Edwards March 20, 2005

March 20, 2005

Hi, I have put together our presentation for Wineconf and as most everyone knows what ReactOS is I have made our presentation more a list of ideas on how we can work together better along with short Q/A times for each. I expect we will need about 45 minuets given the number of pages in my PPT and the time for Q&A on each section. Please let me know if I need to trim to save some time. Thanks Steven __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Small Business - Try our new resources site! http://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/resources/

WineConf: book your hotel now
by Brian Vincent March 17, 2005

March 17, 2005

I'm just sending this out as a reminder for everyone to book your hotel room for WineConf. For more information, check out: 1. http://www.winehq.com/site/wineconf 2. http://www.winehq.com/site/wineconf/travel The last day to reserve a room is tomorrow - March 17th. There's no guarantee rooms will be available after that, and I don't have any indication the hotel will allow reservations after that. If you haven't looked at the details, it's a great deal - 81EUR for Friday and Saturday night and it includes breakfast in the morning. If you're thinking to yourself, "I'd like to go to Wineconf, but I don't think I'm cool enough." Well, you should try to attend. You'll probably really enjoy it. PS - still looking for ideas for the agenda, if you have any, let me know. Also let me know if you'd like to present something. -Brian

any space left at the hotel?
by Brian Vincent March 7, 2005

March 7, 2005

Hey guys, Ira Krakow just emailed me to say the hotel is out of rooms. Can anyone confirm that? If so, it seems like we have more people at the hotel than on the RSVP list, or the hotel doesn't have as many rooms. Can someone call them? -Brian
