Note on the wireless at the hotel
by Jeremy White Sept. 29, 2011

Sept. 29, 2011

Folks, We had a miscommunication on wireless at the hotel. It'll be available in the conference room during Wineconf, but it'll cost you $10 / day to have it in your room. Sorry for the hassle. (But $99 is a great rate for downtown Minneapolis, and they are great rooms. Really.) Cheers, Jeremy

Video recording the keynote
by Marcus Meissner Sept. 29, 2011

Sept. 29, 2011

Hi, I had planned to video record the keynote this year. As I can't be there this year perhaps someone else could do it... I know the consensus is usually "be there or be square" ;) but the current technology should make it pretty easy and non intrusive. My concept would have been: Simple recording device, Simple setup. * Small HD video camcorders are all the rage these days, if someone has one for usage, this could be it. * If using a Digital Still Camera: Do not record HD as this is limited to 5 minutes usually (due to license issues of h.264). Use smaller resolution 640x480 which is motion jpeg but usually the camera takes video as long as it fits the SD card. * Or... using a Android phone or iPhone or other video capable smartphone. My Samsung Galaxy S2 seems to be able record video with just the memory as limitation. (Test if it takes video longer than 5 minutes a piece before using ;) * Do from first or second seating row to get sound, just make sure Alexandre is in frame ;) * Slides recognizability is not necessary (hoping that Alexandre uploads them later on). * All likely possible without a tripod. * Just the keynote would make all not coming folks feel in touch. :) Ciao, Marcus

Make test agenda item
by Jeremy White Sept. 28, 2011

Sept. 28, 2011

Folks, The agenda is fairly empty, so I think having a make test fest is a good idea. Last time I checked in, we had a non zero of computers other than Alexandre's successfully running make test to completion. It would be nice if, before you arrived on Saturday, you could run Winetest once so that your system is on record on test.winehq.org. (Instructions here http://wiki.winehq.org/ConformanceTests; I believe the Running WineTest in Wine provides the right directions). Dan has also set an ambitious goal of identifying and squeezing out flaky tests. It would be great if everyone could also run his script: http://kegel.com/wine/loop-fail.sh.txt and send him the results. Cheers, Jeremy

Late leaver?

Against my better judgement I thought it would be neat to give myself an extra day to tour Minnesota. Anyone else not leaving until late Monday? What do I do? Thanks, Scott Ritchie

Hotel Deal for WineConf is expiring this Friday - book now!
by Jeremy White Sept. 16, 2011

Sept. 16, 2011

Folks, The hotel is going to release the special deal hold we have on rooms this Friday. So if you haven't booked a room yet, I'm afraid the rate is likely to jump up starting Friday. So...I would stop procrastinating, and get a room. To make matters even trickier, it is important that you call, rather than do it over the internet, and you have to make sure to talk to staff at the hotel, not someone at the national chain headquarters. Only the local staff has the Wineconf deal information ($99/night). So, call now, 1-612-332-6800, operators are standing by! Cheers, Jeremy

Hotel ready for booking
by Jeremy White Aug. 1, 2011

Aug. 1, 2011

Okay, folks, we've got the Wineconf hotel set up now. The key is to call the hotel directly and ask for the Wineconf rate; we have a reduced rate of $99/night for the weekend. After the weekend, the price will jump, so if you wish to stay more than a few days, you may want to shop around a bit. Note for non US residents - $99 is the price without tax, so the total price will likely be 10% or so higher after the taxes are added. I've updated the Wiki page, and Andrew Balfour added some travel info. The Hotel phone number is 1-612-332-6800. Cheers, Jeremy
