Transportation system in Zurich
by martin pilka Aug. 22, 2007

Aug. 22, 2007

Hello, we tried to find out how to get from hotel Rex to conference and found this: http://www.gis.zh.ch/zvv/ After you enter addresses, you get attached screenshot. Now, I have no idea what does it actually mean. These questions come to my mind: * Is is a bus, train, or something else? * What is the number of it? I.e. bus number X * What time does it go? It seems I have no clue about Zurich transportation system. Anybody can help? Thanks, Martin

Hotel planning
by Jeremy White Aug. 13, 2007

Aug. 13, 2007

Hi folks, So, I've spent some time on the Hotel page that Mike Hearn has outlined: http://www.booking.com/searchresults.html?from_as=1;city=-2554935&ssne=Z%C3… These are also interesting: http://directrooms.com/switzerland/maps/zurich-city-centre-maps.htm http://en.venere.com/hotels_zurich/ ...and I realize that I'm stumped. I would like to find a hotel that has the following qualities: 1) Is moderately priced, so everyone is willing to stay there. 2) Has Internet access 3) Is fairly close to Google's office 4) Has a bar that we can encourage everyone to gather at on Friday. As far as I can tell, we're not going to get all of those things. Specifically, price collides badly with being close to the meeting site, at least as far as I can tell. As a guideline, I was trying to get the price down below an average of 150 CHF per night or so (1 CHF ~= .6 Euros, ~= .8 USD). I was hoping that some native, or even just a native German speaker would be willing to help out. I'm willing to make phone calls and to try to negotiate block rates, if someone would make a list of likely hotels to try. The things I can't figure out from my desk here in the US are as follows: 1. Is it a certainty that there are no cheap hotels in walking distance to the Google office? I *think* so, but can't be sure. 2. I can find nice-ish hotels at a reasonable rate from here; but I can't tell how far they are from the Google campus in transit time. The nice address to address feature of the ZVV here: http://www.vbz.ch/vbz_opencms/opencms/vbz/english/ZVVtimetable/ quickly overcomes my inept German abilities when I try to do address to address searches. 3. How to pick between hotels? I can find tons of moderately priced, reasonably rated hotels, with internet even, using the web tools I have. But I don't know Zurich, and have no clue if the Neufeld is a dump, or if Goldenes Schwert has rats :-/. Has anyone else looked into this and come to any conclusions? Any native Zurichian or German speaker willing to work with me on this project? Cheers, Jeremy

Announcing WineConf 2007
by Mike Hearn June 29, 2007

June 29, 2007

Yes, it's true! The moment you've all been waiting for! On 6th/7th October, once more Wine hackers from around the world will meet to eat, drink, make merry, and discuss the finer details of reimplementing the Windows API. This year it's Googles turn to host it, and it'll be at the engineering office in Zurich. You too can chill out with these awesome froods by signing up for the wineconf mailing list, and surfing over to: http://wiki.winehq.org/WineConf2007 ... which is currently a bit sparse but will populate nearer the time. Fascinating talks! Interesting people! Hackfests galore ... and maybe even fondue! 6th/7th October. Be there or be square.

Hi all, Is it too early to start suggesting content for the conference? If not, I would offer to talk about keyboard detection in Wine, and what I want to do with XKB, as well as why. Shachar

Did you get enough responses? Seems like a mention on wine-devel might be in order.

Wineconf 2007 survey
by Jeremy White April 30, 2007

April 30, 2007

Hi Folks, Well, I was hoping that out of the chatter following my last email, we'd have consenus about the location. However, the overwhelming silence didn't really help :-/. So, to try to help get some forward momentum, I thought we should turn to a survey again - then we'd just pick the most popular spot. To that end, if you could visit this page: http://www.winehq.org/site/wineconf/survey and enter your preference, I'd appreciate it. Should take only a sec (exactly 1 question, although your name and email are nice too :-/). Cheers, Jeremy

WINE, PERVASIVE and ODBC
by Jeff Whiteman April 2, 2007

April 2, 2007

I have a proprietary piece of software written for a windows machine. When I run the ODBC interface so that I can set a DSN the connection works. However, when I run the program it cannot find the files and gives me an error stating that. Does anyone have experience with Pervasive DB's? Or maybe with getting programs like this one running under WINE? Thank you Jeff Whiteman System Administrator Rockford Silk Screen Process
