In that regard, let me say: this year I am coorganizing the CrossDesktop DevRoom at FOSDEM and I am truly disappointed we have not received a single talk proposal about Wine, even though I sent the call for talks and a reminder to this list.
I didn't see that post, and I can't find it in gmail, nor in http://marc.info/?a=110678333400002&r=1&w=2
With my open source developer hat on, an introductory talk on Wine development would be very appealing to me.
Also, a talk (or maybe more than one) for third-party ISVs which want to make sure their applications work with Wine would also be nice.
At work we seriously considered Wine for a big product which uses embedded virtualization that could probably be replaced with Wine, but we didn't really have a clue where to get started or what we could achieve in 1 year if we put a few people to hack on Wine. Expectations were so unclear management was not in the mood to throw a few thousands to hire CodeWeavers or any Wine hacker in Europe for a preliminary study.
I've been involved in several efforts to use wine in commercial products, I might be able to put something together. At the very least, I should update http://kegel.com/wine/isv/ a bit more. - Dan
