Hi folks,
We are excited to welcome you in person to the 2022 Wine Conference,
held in conjunction with the X.org developers conference (XDC) and the
FOSS XR conference.
The XDC conference will start on Tuesday morning, October 4th. The
program is here:
https://indico.freedesktop.org/event/2/timetable/#all.detailed
The official events start at 8:30 am, but we will have coffee and
pastries available from 7:30 on Tuesday and 8 on Wednesday and Thursday.
WineConf proper will start on Wednesday morning, October 5th, with
Alexandre's keynote.
We expect everyone attending to be vaccinated and to be respectful of
people that are trying to avoid catching COVID. Masks are mandatory,
except when presenting or eating.
The plan is to gather at Brit's Pub, both Monday and Tuesday in the late
afternoon to welcome arrivals. We’ll try to have a table with some sort
of a sign, and folks can connect, have a drink, and then perhaps group
up to explore alternate food. Note that if the weather is nice, we may
be up on the roof, so explore far to find us.
We will be on the Minneapolis campus of St. Thomas, which is a mildly
confusing campus. We have given instructions and a picture to guide you
here:

We are working on the remote experience, and expect to have streaming of
all events available. The above page will have those details just as
soon as they are finalized.
We have a page of instructions for folks that will be presenting:

We are also excited to announce the happy hour taking place on
Wednesday, from 6:00 pm until 8:00 pm. The hope is that all three
projects can mingle and socialize and enjoy the return of in person
meetings.
We will again use a Matrix chat room just for the conference. Matrix
has a variety of apps, and Element, the default one is easy to configure
on many devices, including mobile phones. The link to that channel is here:
https://matrix.to/#/#xdc-wineconf-fossxr-2022:matrix.org
We find the chat channel a good place to learn what restaurants and bars
are chosen, and just a good way to track the social aspects of the
conference.
We look forward to seeing you next week!
Cheers,
Jeremy
