Hi Folks,
We've run into a bit of a snag around Wineconf 2006.
Huw was trying to pull something together for this summer, but he's asked to beg off (he's going to be out with a thyroid operation for a bit; prognosis looks good, but...).
Rob stepped up and volunteered to pull something together in Reading in the UK, and has been a good sport about getting it together.
Sadly, the dates haven't been working out very well.
Rob and I were trying to get something together for May 13th (all other dates in May don't work for one reason or another), but then internal folks here started telling us that that was way too soon.
The problem with trying for June is that travel costs in June are astronomical; plane flights for example are twice the cost in June than in May.
So what I'd like to ask is that people that are interested in coming to Wineconf give us a bit of feedback: http://www.winehq.org/site/wineconf/survey06
Also, I'd like to request that follow ups to this shift over to the Wineconf mailing list: http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wineconf
For those of you that don't know, Wineconf is our kinda sorta annual technical conference. It's a place where Wine developers gather to heckle Alexandre, talk about the mythical Wine 1.0, and marvel that there are 60 other people as crazy as themselves <grin>.
There isn't usually any fee, although you have to bear your own travel costs. Everyone is welcome, but the focus is very technical and developer focused, so 'regular' users may feel a bit out of place.
Cheers,
Jeremy
