I'd like to propose a slight change in format, Michael.
Rather than an emphasis solely on presentations, I think we would do well to have more of a mix of presentations and working groups.
For example, I think it would be great to have a working group tackle the issue of performance in Wine.
I'd be happy to spark a 'What should be in Wine 1.0?' discussion group on Friday (can't make it on Saturday).
Also, I think that Francois's topic might sensibly be shifted into a discussion of how best to do regression testing.
Of course, this implies that white boards and laptop power will be a key ingredient...
Thoughts? Comments? Other working group topics we should address?
We can provide the white boards and laptop power, if the attendees can provide the brain power, this sounds like a great idea.
Several have talked to me about more discussion formats which I did think some of the presentations would evolve to. But if we want to explicitly do this that would be great.
Your broad technical understanding and knowledge of the community make you ideally suited for such a task. Feel free to coordinate online discussions to arrive at such a format for part of the time. If attendees which to slightly alter their talks to the proposed format, that's fine. Just coordinate through Jeremy.
I've had several comments from attendees about how focusing on debugger discussions would be of tremendously value.
