Settling up for conference fees
by Jeremy White 22 Oct '09

22 Oct '09

Hi Folks, Okay, the alternate approach we were trying for didn't work out. So I'm hoping that I can ask everyone to just use Paypal to send Euros to donate(a)winehq.org. (It should work; one person has already succeeded in doing so). If you really can't make it work out, we'll see about another approach, but I'd appreciate it if you could try. Note that if we've explicitly indicated we'll sponsor your hotel that you shouldn't do this. Thanks, Jeremy

Wine(Pre)Conf
by Roderick Colenbrander 15 Oct '09

15 Oct '09

Hi guys, As you all know WineConf 2009 will take place at the campus of the University of Twente in the Netherlands. This is the university at which I have studied and still live. Julius Schwartzenberg (a computer science student) and I have talked to various students and employees whether they would be interested in WineConf. We have the impression that there is quite some interest from them in WineConf (it is hard to say how much people are interested but I would guess a few dozen). WineConf itself is open to anyone but except for AJ his keynote, I don't think it is that interesting for outsiders. What I'm suggesting is that we hold a 'WinePreConf' on the Friday before WineConf at lets say 4pm or so at which we will give one or two presentations (lets say half an hour each) about Wine. It would be meant for students and others with a technical background and it would explain things like how Wine works, how it is developed, what it is used for ..... and other interesting you could think about. After the presentations there would be time for some beer. Attendees can ask questions and perhaps can be lured to hack on Wine as well ;) Personally I think such an event would be good to give others an overview of Wine and to attract more developers. I don't expect all Wine developers to be there but I expect that a big part of us is already available by then (at least the US guys, since US planes arrive in the morning). I think it would even be possible to hold such an event in a lecture room which has video equipment and even streaming support, so we could have some Youtube movies in good quality ;) What do you guys think about it? I really think there is an interest in this and I think the university might be willing to help as well. Regards, Roderick Colenbrander

Wineconf drumbeat - don't sleep on the streets!
by Jeremy White 21 Sep '09

21 Sep '09

Hi Folks, It's now close enough to November that you can't blow this email off <grin>. We've got all the info here: http://wiki.winehq.org/WineConf2009 Our challenge this year is that we're managing the booking, so we need a firm head count ahead of time. Again, if money is an issue, and you haven't already, please contact me privately. So if you're thinking of coming, email Hans. Now. Please. Failure to do so may result in your sleeping on the streets of Enschede *grin*. Cheers, Jeremy

Wineconf 2009
by Steven Edwards 29 May '09

29 May '09

Hi, Seeing as how we are closing in on 4 months away from the traditional Wineconf time, I figured now was as good as time as any to send a note out. How do people feel about Amsterdam this time around? Thanks -- Steven Edwards "There is one thing stronger than all the armies in the world, and that is an idea whose time has come." - Victor Hugo

Eleven days to go
by Jeremy White 16 Sep '08

16 Sep '08

Alright, Just 11 days to go until Wineconf. I'm looking forward to seeing you all! I'd like to encourage people to put agenda suggestions onto the Wiki. Also, if you're going to be in earlier than Friday afternoon/evening, you might want to scribble a note on the Wiki (or here on the mailing list), so you can connect with others that are in early. We'll plan on being around on Friday to meet + greet. In theory, airport to hotel is trivial and easy; just take the free shuttle to the Cambria Suites. But just in case, everyone should feel free to call my cell phone, 651-503-7877, if there is any trouble or if we can help in any way. Finally, if you're coming, and haven't recently RSVPd to me in person, please send me a private email? I'd like to get a rough guess on the head count for Saturday's dinner so we can warn the restaurant. Cheers, Jeremy

Announcing dates and location for Wineconf 2008
by Jeremy White 13 Jul '08

13 Jul '08

Hi Folks, Thanks to the volunteer efforts of James Ramey (new guy in our office), we now have a great venue for WineConf 2008. I've put together a page on it here: http://wiki.winehq.org/WineConf2008 The key details are that it will be over the weekend of September 27 and 28, at a hotel in Bloomington, MN. I promise that it won't be mind numbingly cold, and I won't make any one traipse to see an ice palace this year <grin>. In fact, it's a nice hotel, quite close to the airport, the Mall of America, a Wildlife refuge, and to a stop for our light rail system. Additionally, I believe we will be able to offer fairly substantial travel sponsorships for people that find the cost of travel prohibitive. Email me privately if that would be a help. And for those Europeans that hate US policies, I'll point out two things: 1. January 20, 2009 is fast approaching. 2. 1 Euro gets you $1.60, which is a whole lot of cheap beer At any rate, if you're interested in coming to Wineconf this year, please visit the Wiki and sign up for the wineconf mailing list: http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wineconf We generally use that list for minutiae to avoid spamming the broader mailing list. Hope to see you in September! Cheers, Jeremy

video recordings for tomorrow
by Lei Zhang 05 Oct '07

05 Oct '07

I took a crash course on operating the video recording equipment. Provided that Mike Hearn buys some 9V batteries for the wireless mics, with some luck, we will be able to tape all the presentations this week and put them on youtube. - Lei
