FYI: We will be performing upgrades and maintenance to the WineHQ.org
server on Sept 9th starting at 19:00 CDT (Sept 10th 00:00 UTC). We
expect that the server will be offline for 3 to 4 hours.
All WineHQ websites and services will be offline during this time. This
includes (www.winehq.org, appdb.winehq.org, forums.winehq.org,
wiki.winehq.org, source.winehq.org, testbot.winehq.org).
Git and mailing lists will also be offline.
I will post a reply to this message when services have resumed.

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 …
[View More]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!

Does anyone know how to automate adding new languages to Windows 10?
I have a script that can automate switching the locale settings of a
TestBot VM. It can even automatically create the live snapshots that the
TestBot needs [1].
But before it can do its magic it needs the requested locale to be
installed. Now I'd like it to be able to automate installing the
required locale too, particularly on Windows 10. When I did it manually
I noticed that Windows 10 asked me a bunch of …
[View More]customization questions on
reboot. Those would obviously have to be skipped too.
Note that in this scenarion Windows is already installed and running. So
the 'Windows unattended install' tools may or may not be useful.
