FOSDEM logistics
by Jeremy White 27 Jan '13

27 Jan '13

Hi folks, Alright, this is it - we're going to try to get together at FOSDEM starting this Friday. If you are planning on being there, you should make sure to subscribe to the wineconf mailing list: http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wineconf All further logistics emails and discussions will take place there. So if you're not subscribed, you can't complain we didn't try to include you in the planning. We plan on informally assembling in the lobby / bar of the Best Western Hotel Royal Centre (http://www.royalcentre.be/) on Friday, most likely starting in late afternoon. I don't have any plans for Saturday; I'll likely go harangue the Xorg guys, and maybe catch the key note. We may try to informally gather as well. However, there is no plan for Saturday dinner (sorry, no sponsored dinner by CodeWeavers this year). I have no idea how FOSDEM usually works on Saturday night, so I figured we'd just play it be year. Advice is welcome. Our devroom starts Sunday at 9:00 am. We're in building K, which you can see on this map: http://www.ulb.ac.be/campus/solbosch/plan-K.html Main FOSDEM entrance / registration is in building H on that map. One bit of unsolicited advice - when I naively copy/paste the address on the FOSDEM page into Google maps for directions, I end up with the wrong location. If you're at the Best Western, it looks like Tram 94 goes to the Legrand stop in 16 minutes, and then a 10 minute walk carries you the rest of the way there. Looking forward to seeing you all on Friday! Cheers, Jeremy

FOSDEM tips
by Marcus Meissner 18 Jan '13

18 Jan '13

Hi, For the folks of you who did not go to FOSDEM yet... The project demo tables and all the connecting walkways in the university are draughty and cold. The lecture rooms however are usually "too hot" when filled. There are *lots* of people in very crowded hallways in the venue and so a *lot* of noise, so do not forget your headache pills. Food choices on the venue are a bit limited (I remember baguettes, soup?, anything else?) and there are not much food places around, so I recommend healthy breakfast. Also beware of pickpockets in the towns central crowded places, e.g. the larger trainstations and so, as a colleague of mine got his wallet stolen at the airport train terminal. (The venue should be safer, just geeks there ;) Ciao, Marcus

Fwd: [FOSDEM] spouse tour
by Jeremy White 11 Jan '13

11 Jan '13

fyi Cheers, Jeremy -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [FOSDEM] spouse tour Date: Fri, 11 Jan 2013 10:21:08 +0100 From: fosdem spouse tour <tour(a)fosdem.org> To: FOSDEM visitors <fosdem(a)lists.fosdem.org> Hi all There are still some spaces left for the traditional spouse tour, and the program has just been finalized You can register by sending a mail to tour(a)fosdem.org <mailto:tour@fosdem.org> Kind regards Wouter Simons Saturday, February 2: by tram to the Sablon Start: 14h, corner Roosevelt / Heger Avenue, ULB campus, reception building H language: English content of the tour: <Per tram to the Sablon>, with time for a coffee break Tour Description: Brussels is a city with many worlds. During a tram ride to the center of the ULB the guide will talk about the passing city. At the pallais de justice the group will exit the tram for a tour of the Upper Town, a place where nobility, power and high bourgeoisie found a home since the Middle Ages. Remnants of this we can still enjoy today during a stroll through the Egmont Park, while we admire the Sablon church or during a visit of the Palace of Egmont. But the Sablon is about more than the past. Today it is a center of commerce and trade of antiques luxury items. end: 18h30, same place Not included: drinks during the coffee break or tram tickets. Sunday, February 3: La Cambre, the Ixelles ponds and Flagey language: English Start: 12:15, corner Roosevelt / Heger Avenue, ULB campus, reception building H content of the tour: <Ter Kameren, the ponds and Flagey>, with time for a coffee break Tour Description: A stone's throw from the ULB campus lies the Place Flagey. This lively square, with the Flagey building in Art Deco on the edge, has had a revival since its redesign. People come from all over the city to watch and be watched from the terrace of Café Belga . The road to it is very nice too, along Cambre Abbey, with the idyllic sources of Maelbeek, along the Ixelles ponds, surrounded by beautiful villas and the streets around the Place Flagey, still marked by the Portuguese migration. End: 3:45 p.m., Flagey Not included: drinks during the coffee break.

Hotel for FOSDEM 2
by Bruno Jesus 10 Jan '13

10 Jan '13

Hi, I'm looking for someone to share a double room for the event (friday to monday - 3 days). I was told that people are trying to stay in the Best Western Hotel Royal Centre, a twin-room costs 207 Euro for three nights, that's 103 Euro per person and extreme cheap for a hotel with four stars. Thanks in advance, Bruno

FOSDEM preliminary schedule
by Jeremy White 09 Jan '13

09 Jan '13

Folks, I have penciled in the following sessions for FOSDEM (although not necessarily in this order): Keynote Wine for users Mono Development 3D gaming and drivers Wine on ARM WineTestBot Wine governance - the proposed new FSA A Wine 'Birds of Feather' breakout session - Paolo will have a chance to discuss libmsi and msitools To conform to FOSDEM requirements, I will call most of them '1 hour', but plan for them to be shorter and for us to get our craved discussion breaks in between. I'm going to start the sliding puzzle game of figuring out how to schedule these now. FOSDEM has asked that we finalize our schedule by January 15th, so if you'd like to kibitz at all on this process, now is the time :-/. Cheers, Jeremy

"libmsi and msitools: the missing link for Windows cross-compilation"
by Paolo Bonzini 09 Jan '13

09 Jan '13

Presenters: Paolo Bonzini and/or Marc-Andre Lureau Abstract: Many GNU/Linux distributions include a cross-compilation environment for Windows that is easy to install and use. Some of these also provide the Nullsoft installer (NSIS) to package build artifacts into a Windows executable. NSIS has the advantage that the compiler is portable to POSIX systems, but does not support corporate deployment and component management as well as .msi packages generated for the Windows Installer. libmsi is a port of Wine's MSI database code. The talk will present the rationale for the library, its current state and msitools, a small set of programs that we implemented around it. We will also present plans for future development of libmsi and msitools. Expected time: 30 minutes

talk proposal: wine mono development
by Vincent Povirk 17 Dec '12

17 Dec '12

I am proposing a talk about Wine Mono. Instead of providing an overview of how Wine and Mono work together and Mono's status as a .NET replacement, as I've done before, I'd like to give an introduction to Mono development in the context of Wine. I will demonstrate some of the tools I commonly use to debug .NET applications with wine-mono, and how to use modified builds of Mono in Wine.

Hey Jerome, On 12/12/2012 07:04 PM, Jerome Leclanche wrote: > Has there been any further decision about this? I'll be at FOSDEM on > behalf of Razor and would love to sit in at the Wine talks. I'm not entirely sure what you're asking. We will definitely be at FOSDEM and will have a DevRoom on Sunday. We don't (yet) have a hotel, nor do we have a full agenda. But we're not alone, I gather it's typical of most projects to scramble at the last minute. At the moment, I'm considering booking the Best Western Royale Centre: http://www.royalcentre.be/ It has the right combination of moderate price and a hotel bar :-/. It's really hard to judge location; it's a 30 minute tram ride away from the conference, but it seems as though most hotels are going to be a fairly ways away. Of course, everyone is welcome to make their own decisions, but it seems like it would be more fun if we all stay together. Again, if anyone has any opinion on this, or first hand knowledge of Brussels, that would be welcome. Cheers, Jeremy p.s. Please follow up on the wineconf list.

Suggested talk idea: Wine on ARM and Windows RT
by Juan Lang 21 Nov '12

21 Nov '12

I'm not volunteering to do this, because I don't know anything about it, I just thought it might appeal to folks a little outside the usual Wine community. Andre, you willing? --Juan

> We should stay in the same hotel if possible to ease gathering. > Did someone already choose one? Could You make a special arrangement again (like in Paris, IIRC)? No, we haven't yet picked a hotel. I was poking around a bit; looks like it's not obvious. I see that other projects have varying strategies for handling this. Anyone feeling like a travel planner and want to volunteer for that job? Or anyone know Brussels and/or FOSDEM such that they can suggest good strategies? Cheers, Jeremy
