OSDL's Desktop Linux architects meeting

[Robert Williamson]

On December 1-2, OSDL is hosting a meeting for the desktop architects from
the various Linux desktop organizations to help decide on ways to improve
and promote Linux on the Desktop. An electronic copy of the invitation can
be found at the following URL. This contains a full agenda, preparation
info, and logistical info.

If anyone from wine is interested in participating, they are encouraging
everyone to register for the meetings. They will be limiting attendance to
45, so they may only be able to accept 2 or 3 from every desktop
organization, but they need your name on the list. A finalized list of
attendees will be sent out afterwards. To register go to the following web
site:

I think it would be a great if someone from Wine could attend, but
given that it's in Portland I'm not sure anyone is nearby.  Would it
be possible to set up a conference phone to call into for a session or
two?  I'm thinking the most useful thing to hear would be the
freedesktop.org session at 10:30 on the 1st.  If so, I nominate Jeremy
White to sit in.

I'm looking into getting on a plane (have to ask my wife first :-/);
failing that, a phone connection would be great.

Cheers,

I have made travel arrangements and will be there on December 1 and 2.

If anyone else from the Wine project wanted to join me
(c'mon Dan, you know you want to <grin>), that'd be fun.

I know that I personally have concerns with:

1.  Seeing Freedesktop standards get adopted

2.  The OpenGL extension we need
      (I forget the details, but afair, Lionel
      has a nice proposal somewhere).

3.  Issues to keep glibc and kernel changes
      from breaking Wine, as they oh so often do.

If folks were to chime in on this thread with
further issues that I should bring up on Wine's behalf,
that would be great.

Cheers,

Jeremy
