Users ... as this was brought up
Reality check: Wine users will not travel 100s of kms to a standalone
conference.
This would make sense only if we attach wineconf to another general conference
An unconventional thought crossed my mind: Attach it to one of those gigantic Lan parties like the DreamHack. A big number of private users are gamers, this might catch some of them.
Of course we can't simultanously attach it to a Lan party and a classic conference, but we can variate things over the years.
We used wine to get COD2 running on Vista with wined3d and an intel chip on a private LAN party. It worked, but I couldn't comment on the rendering quality anymore. Well the game is old and I think a normal windows user would never try something like this. So using wine at LAN parties might be a good idea to get more attention and to arrive new users.
