"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.

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

Proposing a talk about WineTestBot
by Francois Gouget 12 Nov '12

12 Nov '12

So as I said recently on wine-devel (*) I think it would be interesting to have a talk about the new WineTestBot. It could start with a status update and presentation of the new setup. Then it could present possible future developments, the related issues and open discussion on the role BuildBot should or should not play. This could also be an opportunity to discuss some policy aspects: when to drop an OS from the tested configurations, whether to only test the latest service pack, whether to systematically add / update some packages / libraries like msvcrt to their latest version, whether to only test in admin/elevated privileges mode, etc. It would also be an opportunity to review the set of Windows configurations that all patches should go through, and for developpers to call for more to be added. Though that last part can really already be done through Bugzilla or through discussion on wine-devel: http://bugs.winehq.org/buglist.cgi?product=Wine-Testbot&component=unknown I would also be pretty interested in getting suggestions / insights into how to solve some of the technical challenges in testing on real hardware. I already got some interesting pointers from Dan but there will likely still be unresolved issues. That should maybe happen after the presentation so as not to bore everyone with very narrow technical aspects though.

Wine devs in Germany?
by Lucas Zawacki 24 Aug '12

24 Aug '12

Hello all, Some time back I asked about the state of Wineconf this year. That was because I'll be in Slovenia from September 8-15 to attend to the ICMC conference and later I was planning of doing some tourism around Germany plus meeting some friends I have there. I'll visit at least Munich, Kaiserslautern and Berlin. I don't know if there are a lot of Wine devs in Germany, but just giving a heads up to you guys if you want to meet somewhere and hang around. I can at least buy Marcus a beer :) Cheers, Lucas

Rethinking WineConf
by Jeremy White 26 Jul '12

26 Jul '12

Hi All, This past Wine conference, while great fun as always, was not as well attended as Wine conferences in the past. So I would like to stir up trouble by suggesting we rethink WineConf. For those that have not attended, the Wine conference has been a mostly annual affair since 2002. It is open to all, but is advertised as being aimed at Wine developers. About 35 people attend each year. It's been in Minnesota about every 3rd year, and is otherwise 'normally' somewhere in Europe. I see the primary goal as creating human bonds between otherwise anonymous people (aka going to the pub). It's a bonus if it also spurs resolution to tricky issues, or motivates people to get more done. So I'd like to ask folks to brain storm with me. How could Wineconf be different? If you've never been, what would encourage you to come? If you've been to a technical conference recently that you thought was well done, what did they do well? Anything we could emulate? Any other ideas, or suggestions? Cheers, Jeremy
