WineConf this weekend

[Mike Hearn]

Hello,

If you're on the wineconf mailing list, you already received all the
details for this weekend. If you weren't planning on coming, but are
near Zurich and want to tag along anyway, feel free! We'll be on the
5th floor of Freigutstrasse 12:

Hi,

Speaking on behalf of those that can't make it to WineConf this year,
will someone be taking notes or A/V?  It's bad enough that we can't
join everyone at the pubs, but it's even worse that we miss the
information exchanged during the discussions.

Thanks,
James Hawkins

I'll ask Lucy about videos tomorrow. I don't know how long we can
record using the Google equipment but we make videos pretty regularly,
so an unedited video stream might be plausible.

Otherwise if somebody has a camera they want to bring along, feel free
... don't trust me to get video-recording sorted at this stage :/

Just being brutal about this - in years past, I felt we
made a critical mistake in trying to do streaming audio or video.

It never worked, was a distraction, and I'm not sure it ever
benefited anyone.

An obvious exception could be the keynote.  Beyond that, my opinion
is that irc chat logs, or emailed summaries are more useful.

Cheers,

Jeremy "ifdown eth0" White

I'm attending the Wine conference this year and intend on keeping
notes. I'll look at writing them up after the conference.

Perhaps the wiki is a better place to do the writeup, that way people
can add their own notes and add to what is there.

Hehe.. now this year I'm on the other side of the fence.

I would be thrilled if someone could have video available as a file
download.  I don't care so much about a stream and a stream not
archived would be even more useless (unless I stay awake until 1am at
a location with Internet access.)

+1

I wouldn't care much about a stream, but I've found the 2005 video
downloads pretty useful, even though the sound was kinda bad in a
couple of places.

If we have the proper equipment, I can set it up to do recordings. See
you all in a couple days!
