Hi,
Here's a random suggestion for Wineconf: Extend an invitation to the
winevdm people: https://github.com/otya128/winevdm . They are using
pieces of Wine to run Win16 apps on 64 bit Windows.

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.

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!

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

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?

Hello Everyone,
Sorry about the delay but we now have an exit survey for the most recent WineConf. The hope is that we can collect some information from all of you as to how the conference went and what could be improved!

Thanks a lot!

Hi All,

Thanks,

Hey all,
Looks like the social planning space of choice is the Matrix room:
https://matrix.to/#/!djpmMsMVvKDeDYcVnc:matrix.org?via=matrix.org
It does require an account, but after that it's not too invasive, and if
you prefer an app, the Android one by Vector IM isn't too bad.
Cheers,
Jeremy
Hello,
Again this year I am helping coordinate the talks and presentations! I hope that people find it helpful and useful! Last work worked out well enough that I am sticking to the same rough format. I think it worked for most other people as well!
If you would like to give a presentation! Please e-mail wineconf(a)winehq.org or me directly! I will keep the Wiki updated with presentations and scheduling as we get it worked out.
When you propose your talk if you have a preference toward a time slot and Saturday or Sunday please express that.
General Guidelines:
* Please provide an estimate of how long your talk will be. We are shooting for approximate 40 minute slots with between 15-20 minutes of talk and with likely an equal amount of question and discussion time afterward. Generally shorter talks are not an issue, however longer talks will need to be discussed and will be considered based on the rest of the schedule.
* Topics should obviously be of interest to the other attendees, i.e., the broader Wine community, but note that that doesn't imply the talk has to be about Wine itself
* If you have a preferred time and date for your talk please indicate that to me when you submit your talk. We will try to make it work as best we can.
Here are the rough proposed slots, They will be changed and modified as required by the addenda as it gets fleshed out. Understand that even with this shift toward a scheduled day we will not disrupt productive conversation to fit to the schedule. The schedule will warp and flow as required to facilitate the talk, not force the talks to conform to it. This does mean if you are planing to try to attend a given talk you will likely want to arrive a bit early and understand if when you arrive the schedule is either behind or ahead of plan.
Daily Slots:
09:00 - 09:40 slot 1
09:45 - 10:25 slot 2
10:30 - 11:00 break
11:00 - 11:40 slot 3
12:00 - 13:00 lunch break
13:00 - 13:40 slot 4
13:45 - 14:25 slot 5
14:30 - 15:00 break
15:00 - 15:40 slot 6
15:45 - 16:25 slot 7
16:25 - 17:00 Overflow time / small group discussion / short presentations
We will track proposed presentations on the WineConf Wiki: https://wiki.winehq.org/WineConf2019
Likely we will have open time at the conference which we will propose presentations and fill at the time. We have never had a problem finding things we all want to talk about.
thanks!

Hi All,
WineConf is days away so I wanted to go over some details.
Aric has put together the itinerary and it can be found on the WineConf
website [1].
On Saturday and Sunday the conference will start at 9AM. Breakfast will
be served beforehand starting at 8AM.
There will be a social event on Saturday evening for all registered
attendees. We'll be having dinner at Pogue Malone Pub and Kitchen at
18:30 [2].
As Henri mentioned there is a Matrix room [3] where we connect to make
plans to meet up or if you have questions. You can also email me if
anything comes up.
I'm looking forward to seeing everyone!
Thanks,
Ulrich
