Since wineconf.geldorp.nl is my server, let me reassure you that bandwidth is not much of a problem. Ofcourse, sharing the load is never a bad idea (and having mirrors in other parts of the world might increase the download speed for people there), but wineconf.geldorp.nl should be able to handle it fine anyway. Most of the day it was hovering around 2 Mbit/s, but I've seen it go up to 30 Mbit/s. Ge van Geldorp.

F'up to wineconf, this shouldn't be on wine-devel.

Once we've got a list of mirrors (and hopefully some bittorrents, too) this should get announced on wine-devel. Andreas

Wineconf thoughts for next year
by Jeremy White May 4, 2005

May 4, 2005

Hi folks, I persist in thinking that it's useful to write down thoughts on Wineconf to remember for next year, so that we can perhaps have a better event the next year. Sadly, I do not think there is much chance that we will have a better event next year; I cannot imagine finding more gracious hosts, a nicer venue, or better weather than we had this weekend. I did not talk to anyone that didn't think that this was a fantastic event, and I think we are all in shock at how helpful the Fachschaft Elektrotechnik were, and how generous WRS was. However, I want to correct an oversight. I was glad we were able to publicly thank our hosts, but there are a few people from our own community that deserve a round of virtual applause as well. Without Brian, I don't think we would have had Wineconf; he spurred us to thinking of it, pulled us together, and juggled the thorny issue of the agenda quite well. Further, several folks from Germany really helped out as well. David Gümbel, Andreas Mohr, Michael Stefaniuc, (and others I've forgotten) were extremely helpful to us all. You all certainly helped this American feel very welcome and at home. So thank you all. I did want to file a few practical thoughts away: First, I thought we did audio and video just right this year; we made an honest attempt at it, but it didn't interfere with the conference at all. However, I think we need to recognize that we Wine hackers are badly addicted to Internet access, and I think we need to set aside a formal time on day 1 to make sure that all access is good. We did have mounting frustrations over the connectivity, only getting it all ironed out midway through day two. I found myself being increasingly distracted by the problems until we finally ironed it out. (There were counter proposals on the train to eliminate internet access so that folks would focus on the talks; I'm not sure how I feel about that, but it's an interesting point). We also seem to crave massive amounts of power; we should probably sponsor a box of power strips for our host next year. Brian was feeling that we might have done better with a slightly lighter schedule, but others didn't seem to feel that so strongly, so I'm ambivalent. But the healthy and flexible breaks were once again invaluable. At any rate, it was great to see you all. I look forward to planning Wine 1.0 at Huw's house next year <grin>. Thanks again to everyone that helped bring off a brilliant Wineconf! Cheers, Jeremy

> After not seen each other for a year, and spending > time, energy and money to attend, we can't do for > a *few* hours without internet access? Actually the conference room was the only place where I had Internet access at all during wineconf, so we definitely need net access elsewhere next year.

We need some help with editing, questions can be heard in the background, but I think that if someone could turn the volume of the comments up it would be almost as good as if the people speaking had a microphone. Also we need someone to split the sound from the video so we can have audio files for those without fast connections. Ivan.

IMHO the one thing we want to do for wineconf 2006 is keep it in Europe. It's where most devs are, and travelling inside Europe is quite cheap, but anywhere else would be to expensive for quite a few of us, especially the volunteers. Ivan.

Thanks for a great WineConf
by Juan Lang May 2, 2005

Hey guys, sorry for the spam, just wanted to say I thought this was a terrific conference, and I wanted to thank you all for making it such a great time. Our hosts were incredible, we hardly lifted a finger and things moved along just great. To respond to some of Jeremy's thoughts: I think the internet access is invaluable. The point of the talks is to spur conversation, isn't it? Sometimes this takes place better on IRC than during a presentation, and it allows some conversation that's off topic without being so distracting as people talking or getting up and leaving while it's going on. I thought the number of talks was about right, with the generous breaks we took. But then since I was speaking too, I'm undoubtedly biased. --Juan __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Put all Wineconf slides on Winehq
by Boaz Harrosh May 1, 2005

May 1, 2005

For the sake of all the mis fortunate who could not attend Wineconf this year. Could someone, Please, collect all presentations and put them on Winehq. I thought that it could be nice if Wineconf page's "Agenda" could be updated to what it actually was, with links from each session to it's slides, and if possible some commentary on important Q&A that arose. Please ... Free Life Boaz
