Call for help with video recording
by Jeremy White Jan. 4, 2014

Jan. 4, 2014

Folks, The FOSDEM folks want to record every single talk in every single room. They have got all the equipment set up, but they have requested two volunteers from each dev room to help monitor the equipment. If you'd be willing to help monitor their AV equipment (which means being in the room most of the day), please email me and I'll put you in touch with the right party at FOSDEM. Thanks, Jeremy

T-Shirts
by Jeremy White Dec. 19, 2013

So the FOSDEM guys suggest that a fun way to show support for FOSDEM would be for us, the Wine project, to make Wine/FOSDEM T-shirts. Anyone interested? I think the WPF could probably sponsor some portion of the cost (and, at the very least, protect any volunteer from potential monetary loss). Cheers, Jeremy

FOSDEM talk on tangential topic in wine devroom
by Adrien Nader Nov. 18, 2013

Nov. 18, 2013

Hi, I'm the main guy behind http://win-builds.org which is a project to bring package management and packages _for_ Windows (through cross-compilation) and _on_ Windows (directly). The ultimate goal is to put an end to the compilation and building mess of free software when it comes to Windows; should give enough work for a few more years. I'd like to do a presentation about this project and mingw-w64 at FOSDEM 2014. I know proposals go through pentabarf but I think I need, at least for politeness, to ask here first. The topic is not Wine and I'm not really involved in the Wine community either; the target audience is also probably not so much the Wine community but more general. That said, I still believe a presentation in the wine devroom is appropriate. I was pondering going for a maintrack talk at first but it didn't feel completely right (scale, slight topic mismatch and not really a format I would feel comfortable with). That made me look for a devroom instead. Last year, a windows-only topic in the LibreOffice devroom attracted quite a lot of people who didn't attend the other talks. This makes me believe there can be an audience from outside the wine community for such talks: getting your free software running on Windows or getting others' free software to run on your Windows. PS: I'm on #winehackers as "adrien" so you can ask me questions there if you want. Regards, Adrien Nader http://win-builds.org

FOSDEM '14 Call for Papers
by Jeremy White Oct. 15, 2013

Oct. 15, 2013

Folks, There will a Wine devroom at FOSDEM '14 on Sunday, February 2, 2014. Last year we had a great time, and I think it was valuable for us to connect with the broader Free software community. I'd like to now invite you to submit proposals for talks. I'd really like to encourage everyone to think of something fun to share with the 5,000 geeks that will be swarming Brussels. If you have an topic you'd like to discuss, or an idea you want to present, please submit it to: https://penta.fosdem.org/submission You will create an account (if you don't have one from a previous year), and select the "Wine devroom" as the track. Please either submit for lengths of 30 or 60 minutes. The deadline for submissions is December 1st. I think it would be great if we branched out a bit, and submitting a crazy off the wall proposal will just burn churn a few electrons. So submit it! For further discussion, please follow up to wineconf(a)winehq.org. Cheers, Jeremy

Keynote made me remember Mac Icons
by Jeremiah Flerchinger Feb. 3, 2013

Feb. 3, 2013

The keynote made me realize I have some Mac icons for Wine. Would anyone be interested in them? It's definitely more functional than just using the default terminal icon. I also had a winecfg icon somewhere but I can't remember where that one is right now. Let me know and tell me where to send them.

Fwd: CONFIRMED: Conservancy Dinner on Sunday (tomorrow) in Brussels: Ricotta & Parmesan, 31, rue de l’Ecuyer
by Jeremy White Feb. 2, 2013

Feb. 2, 2013

Here are rudimentary details on dinner tomorrow. The keys are Ricotta & Parmeson, 31 Rue de L'Ecuyer, Schildknaapstraat 1000 in Bruxelles at 6:00 pm. Google maps thinks it's an 11 minute walk from the hotel. Cheers, Jeremy -------- Original Message -------- Subject: CONFIRMED: Conservancy Dinner on Sunday (tomorrow) in Brussels: Ricotta & Parmesan, 31, rue de l’Ecuyer Date: Sat, 02 Feb 2013 22:51:58 +0100 From: Bradley M. Kuhn <bkuhn(a)sfconservancy.org> Organization: Software Freedom Conservancy To: project-reps(a)sfconservancy.org, eval-committee(a)sfconservancy.org, directors(a)sfconservancy.org, officers(a)sfconservancy.org All Conservancy Folks: If you are not at FOSDEM, you can ignore this email. However, I'd appreciate if you'd forward it to people involved in your project who might be at FOSDEM. Sorry for the late scheduling, but I have just now finally scheduled a dinner in Brussels for all Conservancy project developers who are at FOSDEM. I've reserved a table at 18:00 (6PM) on Sunday 2 February 2013 at: Ricotta& Parmesan, 31, rue de l’Ecuyer, Schildknaapstraat 1000 Bruxelles (Their phone number is 02/502.80.82) (I confirmed on the phone with them they are indeed open tomorrow :). NOTE: the reservation is for 35 total, which includes 25 slots reserved for the Wine project (the Conservancy and the Wine project dinner were merged :). I guessed that we have about 10 people beyond the Wine group, but if you want to come, I believe we still have room, but it's useful if you can tell me as soon as possible if you haven't already said you're coming! Email is ok, but it might be better to SMS me on +32-488-397-329. You can also call that number if you have trouble finding the place or something like that. I note that the schedule may cause you to miss Leslie's closing keynote. I'm sure Leslie will find out about this and tease me that I scheduled a dinner to conflict. However, my excuse is that some folks needed to leave on evening trains and couldn't attend a later dinner. Also, feel free to arrive slightly late if you need to. I look forward to seeing you all tomorrow night. -- Bradley M. Kuhn, Executive Director, Software Freedom Conservancy

Travel advice
by Jeremy White Feb. 2, 2013

Feb. 2, 2013

So a bunch of us are planning to leave here at 9:30 to head over to FOSDEM. Now the Tram line 94 runs right in front of the hotel with the Congress stop some 50m or so away. It also runs right next to FOSDEM. But there is a catch. It seems to be Tram line '94D' that runs in front of our hotel, and Tram line '94D' goes no further than the Legrand stop. Now, Legrand is only about a kilometer from ULB, so you can get off and walk from there. That had been my original plan, but having gotten lost walking a few times, and with worries about rain, I've changed plans. So now I plan on doing what the travel planning website tells me to do, which is to take either 92 or 94 to the Louise stop, which has a nice covered awning, and then from there catch a 94 with a destination of 'Musee Du Tram'. Then you get off at the ULB stop, and you're there; you can literally look right and see signs for building K, which is where the entrance is. If you don't have a ticket, we've been getting them from the Botanique Metro station, which is one block north of the hotel. Note that once down in the Metro, you can easily take the subway to Louise as well, and follow the signs for T 94 and you'll be at the same place as our tram goes. Cheers, Jeremy
