Hello everybody,
as most of you probably remember, my company (ITOMIG) launched an initiative called WineProbe (=~ "WineTasting" in English) some time ago. As part of this initiative, we're arranging an informational event next week on thursday afternoon in Stuttgart. We'll present Wine and its capabilities for migrating and porting applications to Unix. Details are available online (in German) [1].
The target audience are software vendors who would like to create a Linux or cross-platform version of their Windows-based products. However, anyone interested is cordially invited to come, listen and discuss, and have a glass of good wine afterwards ;) The event is free, you just need to send us a small application form avaliable online on [1].
Aside from that, I wrote an article titled "Grenzen überschreiten" ("Crossing Borders") about Wine and its use in the city of Böblingen in a project we're running together with Böblingen and Tübingen University. It was published in print this week in the magazine Kommune21 [2]. Kommune21 is a magazine about the use of information technology in municipalities (german: "Kommunen"). About 11 000 copies are printed every month, and I'd say the CIO of pretty much every major german city has a subscription.
They do not normally have a free online version of their contents available. However, they provided me with a PDF of the article, which we're allowed to put online on our web site. I think this is very nice advertisement for Wine, in particular because of the very specific audience of that publication. Anyone interested can find the article available online at [3].
Bye,
David
