The first few WineConf 2018 videos are up at [1]. Currently we have the keynote and the CodeWeavers company update on there. We'll hopefully be uploading more over the next couple of days. We may also upload copies to other hosts like YouTube in the future. [1] https://peertube.mastodon.host/accounts/wineconf2018/videos

Some questions about WineConf.
by Gert Otten Sept. 10, 2018

Sept. 10, 2018

Hello, I'm a Wine user since somewhere around 1.5 (2012, I believe?), and ever since then I got really interested in it. (Of course Wine is not my only interest within the computer space.) Since I don't have deep pockets at the moment, I was really happy to find out that WineConf is hosted in The Netherlands this year, though I have to travel all the way to the other side of the country since I live in Overijssel. Thus it got me wondering whether it would be possible to attend for just one day. I'd also like to know about the ARM Emulation update. Is this about the x86-on-ARM Android syscall emulation or? Because it doesn't say x86-on-ARM specifically. As for my last question: It's hosted at a hotel, right? So I basically register online, and just show my ID at the hotel reception? Just making sure I get the right place and all. Thanks in advance & best regards, Gerhardus Otten

The future of WineConf
by Henri Verbeet July 13, 2018

July 13, 2018

We touched on this during WineConf a little already, but were slightly short on time. With most people back from travel and the videos starting to get published, now seems like a good time to continue that conversation. Key points from the previous conversation: - We have several offers for hosting WineConf 2019. In no particular order: - Kiev, Ukraine, by Arthur Hil - Bali, Indonesia, by Aric Stewart - Vilnius, Lithuania, by Ričardas Barkauskas - Japan, by Alexandre Julliard - Toronto, Canada, by Ulrich Czekalla - Minnesota, United States of America, by Jeremy White - Austin, Texas, United States of America, by Austin English Most of those are longer standing ones; Kiev, Bali and Japan are new this year. There's an argument for holding WineConf somewhere other than Europe and the United States after 16 years, although travel costs are also a consideration. Another fact worth pointing out in this context is that September 12, 2019 would be the 25th anniversary of Alexandre's maintainership of Wine. - The time of year this time seems to have been generally well-received. - Samathy proposed having a Code of Conduct for the conference. While, to my knowledge, there has never been an instance where one would have been needed, and hopefully that will continue to be the case in the future, it seems prudent to me to have one. - The CFP could have been more formal/explicit. - General discussion slots are still considered useful. We'd like to preserve those. Other points I'd like to bring up: - What did people think of the A/V recording? Was that a good thing, and something we should continue to keep improving? Or is the consensus that it's intrusive and not worth bothering with? - I think there was a sentiment, at least with some people, that 2-3 days was fairly short and we weren't quite done discussing things yet. Would it perhaps make sense to extend the conference by a day in the future an include e.g. Monday as well? - Should we put more effort into attracting external (e.g., from the broader Free Software community, and people/organisations using Wine) speakers? We'd like to hear your feedback on these points, as well as your general feedback about which things you liked and would like to keep seeing in the future, and which things you disliked. If there's any feedback you'd rather not give in public, you can of course always simply send me a private e-mail as well. Henri
