Announcing WineConf 2009

Dear Wine developers, You may recall that I volunteered to help host WineConf in the Netherlands in 2007 when, after a vote, an offer by Dan Kegel to host at Google's offices in Zurich won the bid. Last year WineConf went across the pond to Minnesota, so it seems natural that this year's WineConf will be hosted in the country with the highest number of Wine developers per capita ;-) At Twente University Campus to be precise, near the city of Enschede: http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=1047705954276368339… >From November 6-8 (Friday to Sunday). I chose this place because of its good facilities and relatively low costs; we want to make the conference accessible for as many developers as possible. Directions, agenda, etc. will be made available on this page: http://wiki.winehq.org/WineConf Please e-mail me at wineconf(a)meelstraat.net if you intend to come, so we can make a better estimation of the number of attendees. See you there! -Hans

Minor travel note
by Jeremy White Nov. 4, 2009

Nov. 4, 2009

I noticed one minor nit on the wiki that probably will make no difference at all. The wiki says to take the #9 bus designated 'University'. But the travel planning sites say that the #9 bus from Hengelo will say 'Enschede' (it passes the University on its way). The buses probably say both, but figured I'd mention it just in case... Hopefully, I've confused someone else enough that I won't be the only horribly lost person on Friday. See you then! Cheers, Jeremy

Hi, At what time do most of you (expect to) arrive at the hotel? It's a 2 hours drive for me to the hotel and I already took half a day off on Friday. -- Cheers, Paul.

The Drienerburgt might have its own pub (to be honest > I have never been inside) at least 20m and 50m away there will be a > cafe and a pub, so be assured there is beer ;) Dinner at 18:00 is on Saturday, no arrangements have been made for Friday. The conference hotel has a bar but doesn't serve ad hoc meals so you'll need to go elsewhere to get food. I'm told there are two places that serve meals on the campus but they close relatively early, at 19:30 and 20:00. -Hans
