Hi Folks,
Thanks to the volunteer efforts of James Ramey (new guy in our office), we now have a great venue for WineConf 2008.
I've put together a page on it here: http://wiki.winehq.org/WineConf2008
The key details are that it will be over the weekend of September 27 and 28, at a hotel in Bloomington, MN. I promise that it won't be mind numbingly cold, and I won't make any one traipse to see an ice palace this year <grin>.
In fact, it's a nice hotel, quite close to the airport, the Mall of America, a Wildlife refuge, and to a stop for our light rail system.
Additionally, I believe we will be able to offer fairly substantial travel sponsorships for people that find the cost of travel prohibitive. Email me privately if that would be a help.
And for those Europeans that hate US policies, I'll point out two things: 1. January 20, 2009 is fast approaching. 2. 1 Euro gets you $1.60, which is a whole lot of cheap beer
At any rate, if you're interested in coming to Wineconf this year, please visit the Wiki and sign up for the wineconf mailing list: http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wineconf We generally use that list for minutiae to avoid spamming the broader mailing list.
Hope to see you in September!
Cheers,
Jeremy
