Call for WineConf Hosts
by Ulrich Czekalla Feb. 7, 2020

Feb. 7, 2020

Hi All, During the last WineConf it was decided that we needed a more formal process for choosing the next WineConf host. It was also decided that we need to help current and future hosts by by putting together a support WineConf committee along with a checklist to help guide the host. To that end, we have started a Organising WineConf [1] wiki page. It's by no means complete so I encourage all past hosts to review and edit the page to make it more helpful to potential hosts. Thanks to Henri for providing most of the current content. This is also a call for proposals to host the next WineConf sometime this year. Ideally proposals would present; Proposed dates Proposed city Information on potential venues and travel We'll need to choose a host relatively quickly as it does take time to plan and book the event. I'm hoping we can settle on a host by the end of February but ultimately that decision goes to the Wine Committee. Questions, comments, concerns can be posted on the mailing list. Thanks, -Ulrich 1. http://wiki.winehq.org/Organising_WineConf

FOSDEM 2020
by Henri Verbeet Jan. 31, 2020

Jan. 31, 2020

This year's FOSDEM [1] will take place on February 1 & 2 in Brussels. Last year a small group of us used the opportunity to meet-up over drinks, and I think most of us enjoyed the experience. Is anyone else already planning to attend that would like to join us? Is there anything we could do to convince any of you that are still hesitating? Henri [1] https://fosdem.org/2020/

Note on things social
by Jeremy White Oct. 11, 2019

Oct. 11, 2019

Hey all, Looks like the social planning space of choice is the Matrix room: https://matrix.to/#/!djpmMsMVvKDeDYcVnc:matrix.org?via=matrix.org It does require an account, but after that it's not too invasive, and if you prefer an app, the Android one by Vector IM isn't too bad. Cheers, Jeremy

Call for WineConf 2019 presentations
by Aric Stewart Oct. 8, 2019

Oct. 8, 2019

Hello, Again this year I am helping coordinate the talks and presentations! I hope that people find it helpful and useful! Last work worked out well enough that I am sticking to the same rough format. I think it worked for most other people as well! If you would like to give a presentation! Please e-mail wineconf(a)winehq.org or me directly! I will keep the Wiki updated with presentations and scheduling as we get it worked out. When you propose your talk if you have a preference toward a time slot and Saturday or Sunday please express that. General Guidelines: * Please provide an estimate of how long your talk will be. We are shooting for approximate 40 minute slots with between 15-20 minutes of talk and with likely an equal amount of question and discussion time afterward. Generally shorter talks are not an issue, however longer talks will need to be discussed and will be considered based on the rest of the schedule. * Topics should obviously be of interest to the other attendees, i.e., the broader Wine community, but note that that doesn't imply the talk has to be about Wine itself * If you have a preferred time and date for your talk please indicate that to me when you submit your talk. We will try to make it work as best we can. Here are the rough proposed slots, They will be changed and modified as required by the addenda as it gets fleshed out. Understand that even with this shift toward a scheduled day we will not disrupt productive conversation to fit to the schedule. The schedule will warp and flow as required to facilitate the talk, not force the talks to conform to it. This does mean if you are planing to try to attend a given talk you will likely want to arrive a bit early and understand if when you arrive the schedule is either behind or ahead of plan. Daily Slots: 09:00 - 09:40 slot 1 09:45 - 10:25 slot 2 10:30 - 11:00 break 11:00 - 11:40 slot 3 12:00 - 13:00 lunch break 13:00 - 13:40 slot 4 13:45 - 14:25 slot 5 14:30 - 15:00 break 15:00 - 15:40 slot 6 15:45 - 16:25 slot 7 16:25 - 17:00 Overflow time / small group discussion / short presentations We will track proposed presentations on the WineConf Wiki: https://wiki.winehq.org/WineConf2019 Likely we will have open time at the conference which we will propose presentations and fill at the time. We have never had a problem finding things we all want to talk about. thanks! -aric
