Alright folks,
We need to put together a schedule for our room at FOSDEM.
So I would like to formally 'call for papers' for FOSDEM. Please email suggested topics to wineconf@winehq.org, where I'll collate them and piece them into a schedule.
A 'paper' can be a talk you wish to give, or a topic you think we should discuss. As always, they should be relatively brief, and should emphasize discussion and collaboration.
This year it probably makes sense to imagine a few talks aimed at developers outside the Wine community. After all, the hope is that a few bored non Wine developers may wander by from time to time. Perhaps we can suck them in <grin>.
Cheers,
Jeremy

I think we will want to talk about the new WineTestBot and its future developments. But I'm not sure it should be a FOSDEM talk.
WineTestBot is after all Wine-specific. Also I feel like all I have about the really interesting subjects(*) is questions which does not really make for a good presentation.
But at the same time I'd be interested in ideas from others and the FOSDEM people may have faced some of these issues already, or at least set up sophisticated automated testing systems and know what works and what doesn't.
(*) A particularly interesting one to me is testing untrusted code on real hardware (with possible approaches being direct access to a graphics card from within a VM, or network booting (plus remote controlled power switch?), Grub tricks). Another may be testing on non-VM friendly OSes, specifically Mac OS X, though that may just be a matter of doing a more in-depth Google search to find a legal and libvirt-compatible solution.

It's okay for us to have talks that are Wine specific. We get *our* room for a day for *our* nefarious purposes. I was just encouraging us all to have an eye to possibly luring in a few others as well; we shouldn't forego positive and useful conversations in the hope that we'll engage others.
So could you please submit that formally to wineconf@winehq.org?
Cheers,
Jeremy

Will this be talk-only or do you also plan written conference proceedings? I suspect it'll be talk-only.
I propose a talk about the status of 3D rendering support for games on Linux. I don't intend to make this highly Wine-specific, and instead include the state of Mesa, fglrx, nvidia and OSX graphics drivers.

Favor - formally submit this to the Wineconf list?
Thanks,
Jeremy
It would be really cool if someone could manage to record some talks and upload them to eg. youtube, for those who can't attend. I would be especially interested in Stefan's proposed talk.
Thanks everyone and have a nice FOSDEM!
Best regards, Julian

Will FOSDEM manage this for us or do we need to send our own filmy person?
I nominate Jeremy to investigate, we really should have this filmed.

Reviewing what 'other' FOSDEM devroom guys have done, I see that I failed to establish a deadline for the CFP. So let me hereby arbitrarily pick December 31, 2012.
Please get your proposals in no later than then; we'll then cull through the suggestions and set the agenda. I will likely add a section for breakouts or general discussion as well.
Cheers,
Jeremy
