Wineconf 2022 with XDC
by Jeremy White 07 Jul '21

07 Jul '21

Hi all, As promised, here is a list of thoughts and concerns about Wineconf 2022, presuming it is held with XDC. First, XDC is attended by about 100-120 people, and usually has one main room, with scheduled tracks across three days, seemingly always a Wednesday-Friday. They also like to have a second room, which is mostly used as spillover, although there are sometimes scheduled work shops in that room that overlap with the main track. Wineconf has historically been on a Saturday/Sunday. The idea there was to try to make it easier for people that don't work professionally on Wine to attend. I don't know if that rationale still holds. I'm particularly curious to hear from people that don't work professionally on Wine as to whether or not this would discourage them from coming. I doubt that XDC would be interested in a different schedule, so that then leads me to two ideas: hold Wineconf interleaved with XDC on all or some combination of the Wednesday/Thursday/Friday, or hold Wineconf on the Friday/Saturday, so as to overlap by only one day. My sense is that the experiment would be most interesting with a full interleaving, but I'm really curious what others think. If we do the fully interleaved strategy, then I think we will want three rooms. We can schedule tracks in the two rooms, with one room being mostly X, and one room being mostly Wine, but with overlap allowed. The third room is social and spillover. That may be a bit of overkill. My sense is that both Wine and X.org have been running light on tracks of late, and so the added tracks from Wine may be enough to fill up the empty spaces left by X.org. But I think a little overkill is probably better than feeling like we're missing a room. If we do the overlap option, then I'd probably just get two rooms, as I think x.org could give over their normal 'second' room to us for one day. My thinking is to pin down some of these details, and then ask the Wine committee to approve Wineconf 2022 with those parameters so that we can submit an RFP to X.org. Note that the deadline for RFPs to x.org is September 1, 2021, which is why I am bringing this up now. I'd appreciate other thoughts and things I might have missed. Cheers, Jeremy

There are some topics that are easier to discuss in person IMHO, when you know people are listening. One topic of my concern is what to do about GSoC. Having a keynote with a development recap of the past would be a good thing too. Are there other topics of discussion? >> >> What do you think? >> > > I think it's an excellent idea. > > +1 CCing wineconf list

WineConf 2020 Postponed to 2021
by Aric Stewart 08 Aug '20

08 Aug '20

Hello Everyone, I am very sad to announce that after extensive conversations with the Wine Committee and our Japanese Host we have come to the decision that because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic it is best to postpone Wineconf 2020. The plan is to resume the conference again in the fall of 2021. We apologize to everyone involved and hope this does not negatively impact your ability to come to the 2021 conference. More details will be forthcoming as we approach fall of 2021. We look forward to seeing you all then! -aric

WineConf Proposal for Tokyo 2020
by Aric Stewart 01 Mar '20

01 Mar '20

Hello, The task will always fill available time. Having a deadline of Nobuko and I have put together our proposal for WineConf Tokyo 2020. Please read and if you have any comments I would love to hear them. I believe I am the first to do this whole submit a proposal for WineConf thing so the road is still mostly pretty untread. Here is the proposal for your viewing pleasure. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZgP8_8ToC1SfkICC_FTawpniubngHA3BG1rzkRJ… I understand it is still short the details about the Saturday Dinner, but I am assured a location can be found, close to the hotel and that would be enjoyable for the entire convention. I will update the proposal as more of that information is acquired. It is mostly of concern to CodeWeavers rather than the entirety of the convention. Please direct any questions to me and I will answer them to the best of my ability and knowledge. Thanks! -aric

Call for WineConf Hosts
by Ulrich Czekalla 07 Feb '20

07 Feb '20

Hi All, During the last WineConf it was decided that we needed a more formal process for choosing the next WineConf host. It was also decided that we need to help current and future hosts by by putting together a support WineConf committee along with a checklist to help guide the host. To that end, we have started a Organising WineConf [1] wiki page. It's by no means complete so I encourage all past hosts to review and edit the page to make it more helpful to potential hosts. Thanks to Henri for providing most of the current content. This is also a call for proposals to host the next WineConf sometime this year. Ideally proposals would present; Proposed dates Proposed city Information on potential venues and travel We'll need to choose a host relatively quickly as it does take time to plan and book the event. I'm hoping we can settle on a host by the end of February but ultimately that decision goes to the Wine Committee. Questions, comments, concerns can be posted on the mailing list. Thanks, -Ulrich 1. http://wiki.winehq.org/Organising_WineConf

FOSDEM 2020
by Henri Verbeet 31 Jan '20

31 Jan '20

This year's FOSDEM [1] will take place on February 1 & 2 in Brussels. Last year a small group of us used the opportunity to meet-up over drinks, and I think most of us enjoyed the experience. Is anyone else already planning to attend that would like to join us? Is there anything we could do to convince any of you that are still hesitating? Henri [1] https://fosdem.org/2020/
