This afternoon (Friday) at WineConf
by Bradley M. Kuhn June 29, 2018

June 29, 2018

Greetings! I'm Bradley M. Kuhn from Software Freedom Conservancy, which is the non-profit home for the Wine project. This is my first WineConf and I'm told the list is how we all find out what's going on. Related to that, Jeremy White just came through the lobby and asked if someone would let the list the following: We have a designated table in the lobby for people to hang out this afternoon. Henri mentions as a separate matter that if you signed up for the city tours, please meet in the lobby at 14:45. There are one or two slots left for the tours if you didn't sign up. -- Bradley M.

Wineconf story time - please introduce yourself
by Jeremy White June 29, 2018

June 29, 2018

So a number of us have arrived, and are going to go walk about in the sunshine to attempt to stave off jet lag. Looks like there is a new terrace bar that might be fun later on as well. A note - this event is in large part a social event. Many of us know each other already, so if you are new, we are eager to meet you, and you should feel welcome to introduce yourself. We had an attendee in Stuttgart who sat one table over from us the whole night and never introduced himself. I was deeply embarrassed to discover that the next morning when we put on name tags. We would have loved to include him, and ever since then, I've made a point of asking new people to connect. Shoot an email if you are here but have not connected yet, and we'll find a way to make some introductions. Cheers, Jeremy

Delayed by exactly 24 hours
by Alex Henrie June 27, 2018

June 27, 2018

Hello everyone, My flight with American Airlines was canceled today due to mechanical problems. I have been rescheduled for the same flight plan tomorrow morning. This means that I will arrive in Amsterdam Thursday at 8:15am instead of Wednesday at 8:15am, and I will arrive in The Hague about an hour after that. Fortunately, remembering how much trouble I've had with international flights in the past, I had planned an extra day of tourism before the conference just in case. So even with a full day of delay, I should still be there for all of WineConf and some tourism besides. Looking forward to seeing you! -Alex

Parking in The Hague
by Francois Gouget June 20, 2018

June 20, 2018

I checked out where to park my car for WineConf and here is what I gathered. Parking in the city centre is pretty expensive, seems to be about 40€ per day. The cheaper alternative is to use the Park and Ride parkings on the periphery. https://www.denhaag.nl/en/parking/parking-in-the-city/park-and-ride-the-hag… * P+R Hoornwijck + tram 15 https://www.denhaag.nl/en/parking/parking-in-the-city/pr-and-tram-fast-and-… https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=17/52.04951/4.34821 This is probably the simplest solution. It's a multi-storey parking, there's one tram every 10 minutes and the trip takes about 13 minutes. The cost is 5€ for the first day, including the tram ticket, then 7.5€ per additional day and the return tram ticket on the last day. * P+R Station Ypenburg + NS Sprinter https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=16/52.0553/4.3881 The parking is free but not covered and there is video surveillance. You can get downtown in 8 minutes, there is a train every 15 minutes and the ticket costs 2.30€ * P+R De Uithof + tram 4 https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=17/52.03945/4.24470 The parking is free and in a pretty lush forest-ish environment. You can get downtown in 26 minutes, there is a tram every 10 minutes and the ticket costs 2.21€. -- Francois Gouget <fgouget(a)free.fr> http://fgouget.free.fr/ E-Voting: It's not the people who vote that count.

When to look for people
by Jeremy White June 18, 2018

June 18, 2018

Hey folks, Usually we share flight arrival info on this mailing list and then have the entertaining game of trying to remember whether so and so is going to arrive soon and can we safely head for dinner without ditching them. With the larger group, I thought I'd perhaps try to organize it a bit more; you are invited to share your info on the the following Google doc: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MrSTLZNLx8b-eC_Ev_eUSNNNxarcSd2Njth… Note that is a public link, so please only share info you don't mind being publicly visible. Cheers, Jeremy

WineConf 2018
by Henri Verbeet April 30, 2018

April 30, 2018

Hi all, The Wine Project is happy to announce that WineConf 2018 will take place on June 29 - July 1 2018 in The Hague, The Netherlands. As some of you will undoubtedly be aware, this will coincide with the 25th anniversary of Wine. WineConf is the Wine Project's yearly conference, where members of the Wine community, the broader Free Software community and interested users meet up over food and drinks. We traditionally also have a number of talks by attendees, as well as some formal and informal discussions about anything vaguely Wine related. We're still working out some of the details, but since this years' WineConf will take place slightly earlier in the year than has traditionally been the case, we'd like to give everyone sufficient advance notice to make travel arrangements, in particular those of you that would need Visas to travel to The Hague. Subscribe to wineconf(a)winehq.org to stay up-to-date with further developments. Information will also get added to https://wiki.winehq.org/WineConf2018 as it becomes available. Should you have any questions, feel free to send an e-mail to either wineconf(a)winehq.org or me personally, and we'll do our best to come up with an answer. Henri

WineConf 2018 - Friday afternoon programme
by Henri Verbeet April 23, 2018

April 23, 2018

Those of us that will already be in The Hague on Friday afternoon will have the opportunity to go on a guided city tour through The Hague. I'd like to encourage first-time attendees in particular to participate, since this will be a good opportunity to get to know each other ahead of the main conference. Tours take about 90 minutes, and there are two tours: "The Constitution Walk" [1] and "Dutch politics and history" [2]. We'd likely start the first tour sometime around 15:00, and if there's interest I can make a dinner reservation for the evening. This would result in the following tentative programme: 14:30 Gather at the hotel lobby 14:45 Leave the hotel lobby 15:00 Tour 1 16:45 Tour 2 18:30 Dinner Costs are € 200 per group, per tour, and groups have a maximum size of 25 persons. Depending on the group size, that would be approximately € 10–15 per person, per tour. If you'd like to participate in any of these, please let me know by sending me an e-mail at hverbeet(a)codeweavers.com with the following information before May 14: - Which of these you'd like to participate in: the "The Constitution Walk" tour, the "Dutch politics and history" tour, and/or the evening dinner. - The number of persons that will be participating. - Any restrictions on your side. E.g., in case you won't be at the hotel before a certain time, or only want to participate in case a certain minimum number of other people do, etc. Henri [1] https://www.prodemos.nl/english/visitor-centre/town-walk-the-constitution-w… [2] https://www.prodemos.nl/english/visitor-centre/town-walk-dutch-politics-and…

Call for WineConf presentations
by Aric Stewart April 20, 2018

April 20, 2018

Hello, As discussed during WineConf 2017, I am helping coordinate the talks and presentations this year. In previous years we have been very last minute and laid back in the proposal and scheduling of presentations. While this has it's advantages I have volunteered to help call for and organize presentations further in advance so speakers have some time to prepare the presentation they wish to give. 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/WineConf2018 If this more organized presentation proposal process works well, we may try to expand it to include scheduling times in the near future. But for this year getting a working itinerary and scheduling the talks during the opening of the conference is likely acceptable. However if you have a preference toward Saturday or Sunday please express that. If you would like to give a presentation! Please e-mail me directly! I will keep the Wiki updated with presentations and scheduling as we get it worked out. If you would like to see a given presentation, reach out on the mailing list, see if you can get the people qualified to give the presentation to step up and contact me! 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
