WineConf Preliminary Agenda
by Brian Vincent 20 Feb '05

20 Feb '05

I sent some emails this week to get a preliminary agenda together. I'd say it's about half complete. So we've got: Keynote - Alexandre Road to .9 and 1.0 - Dimi ReactOS demo - all the ReactOS guys Version Control - Mike Hearn Something related to RPC + Wine + Samba - Juan Lang We've got a few other items as well, but I think we need to make sure we're not overlooking other topics. I'd hate to put something on the agenda and then pull it back off. I think 10-12 different topics is the goal. Last year we had 12, so I'd say that's definitely an upper bound; we couldn't have squeezed another in. As far as other topics, I'd really like to see something fun on there - maybe DirectX eye candy. Also, Andrew Bartlett is the Samba authentication systems guru and will be there. I'm not sure if he'd be willing to present anything, nor am I sure anything would be relevant to Wine. However, it seems to me it could be interesting (of course, since it's an area of Windows and Wine I know nothing about I could be way off base.) At this point I think we just need to fill in the gaps. I'm not sure if there's a lot of people who want to present something or not, but I think it's time to ask on wine-devel. First, however, does anyone on this list have any ideas? (If I've already asked you, don't worry - I made a note.) I'm not sure how many WineConf attendees have subscribed to this list so far, but I bet it's less than half. The next step after finalizing the agenda will be putting together a short email outlining presentation guidelines and what equipment will be available. Someone asked if there would be a community laptop containing all of the presentations so we didn't spend time shuffling equipment around. I think that's an excellent idea, what do you guys think? -Brian

Agenda
by Jeremy White 12 Feb '05

12 Feb '05

Hi Folks, Okay, it looks like we've got about 41 people RSVP'd. About 5 from CodeWeavers that are going haven't RSVP'd, and a number RSVP'd to say no, and there were 1 or 2 dups. So I would make a WAG (wild ass guess) that we're going to have about 50 when the dust all settles. It looks like a pretty eclectic mix, too. A lot of Samba, a lot of ReactOS, really quite a mix. So I have no idea how we want to structure an agenda. We need an agenda, and someone (or multiple someones) to serve as the M.C. At this point, I think the only givens are a short intro and welcome to Stuttgart by WRS and then a keynote by Alexandre. Last year, we ended up having no shortage of speakers. At first, I was panicked because we were short, but it filled up (and we even had to cram people in a bit). Personally, I think we should try to be pretty severe in limiting the number and length of presentations. In fact, I think the ideal may be a short (< 30 minutes) presentation followed by a 30-45 minute break. Everyone can come to the start to be polite, and people really interested can stay and discuss further. Everyone else can head back to the other room for general topics. I had one ISV that was using Wine express an interest in presenting; I've emailed him just now to see if he's still interested. I'd like to present (and pitch) the cxtest visual regression stuff we're doing, but that's my personal agenda, and could take a back seat to something else. Anyone else have something they'd like to present? Or something they'd like to see covered? We tried last year to have a session on Games and a session on COM (aka InstallShield); any other hot topics that are obvious? Cheers, Jer

Local organisation
by Ulrich Gemkow 19 Jan '05

19 Jan '05

Hello, Michael has already described the most important aspects of the local organisation, please let me add some remarks and also answers to questions asked before. Sorry for the delay - it was a rather busy week... 1. Local organisation --------------------- I propose to form a local organisation group (LOG). It would be helpful if some people living in the region with a feeling for the needs of our guests would join this LOG. This LOG (or a part of it) should meet in the next few weeks here at the university to check the location and collect ideas how to organize wineconf. Hopefully WRS will join this LOG too. We should get a feeling for the "financial" aspects (who pays what and what are the limits). It is no problem to find a catering service (we have one about 200m near the building) for coffee and breakfast/lunch or a good pizza service, but somebody has to decide how much this may cost and provide some kind of deficit guarantee. I will try to hire students from our students organisation, so that there will be (including me) good support from people who know the location and the building. If a list of the people expected to come will be available, we can prepare name plates. We will some help for cleaning after the conference - the universities cleaning staff will not be available at sunday and the rooms must be in "perfect" condition on monday morning at 8am (because then the lectures start). 2. Location/Traveling --------------------- The exact location will be University of Stuttgart Campus Stuttgart-Vaihingen Pfaffenwaldring 47 D 70569 Stuttgart Lecture halls V47.04, V47.05 and V47.03 The hosting organisation is University of Stuttgart Institute of Communication Networks and Computer Engineering Pfaffenwaldring 47 D 70569 Stuttgart The small room has about 80 seats, the two bigger ones 150 and 300 seats. If more or bigger rooms are needed, this should be no problem, the biggest one in the building (which is not available on Saturdays morning) has 850 seats :-) Michael already described perfectly how to reach Stuttgart and the University campus in Vaihingen. We have a web page which also contains travel information (http://www.ikr.uni-stuttgart.de/en/Content/TravelInfo). I can easily generate a "wineconf-customized" release of this webpage (which will point to the halls, not to the institute) if this is helpful. We can provide markers which guide the guests from the railway station and the parking site to the entry of the building. 3. Equipment ------------ LC-Projectors should be no problem - each of the halls has a projector installed. Overhead-projectors and blackboards are available too. The bigger halls have microphone, the small room does not need one in our experience. Internet access is a little bit more difficult - not from a technical point of view but because of security concerns in our central computing center which is responsible for the campus network. You should give me a feeling what services are needed, i.e. - is WWW-access through a proxy enough (probably not) - do you need direct outgoing connections (ssh, ...) - do you think that incoming connections to (Mail, ...) are required (which would be rather difficult) As soon as I have some feeling I will negotiate the connectivity with our computing center (which should be no problem). Our institute can provide WLAN-APs and switches for interconnection of notebooks. I can provide some equipment for audio/video archiving of the conference but have no own experience in doing so. Please feel free to add questions/comments/corrections or better ideas Greetings Ulrich -- |----------------------------------------------------------------------- | Ulrich Gemkow |----- | Universität Stuttgart | Institut für Kommunikationsnetze und Rechnersysteme (IKR) | (bisher: Nachrichtenvermittlung und Datenverarbeitung (IND)) |----- | University of Stuttgart | Institute of Communication Networks and Computer Engineering (IKR) |----- | Pfaffenwaldring 47, D 70569 Stuttgart, Germany | mailto:gemkow@ikr.uni-stuttgart.de http://www.ikr.uni-stuttgart.de |-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello, As of today 81 euro's come to $105.81 and I would guess there is VAT on top of the 81 euro's. I plan to book a double room from 29th to the 1st. If anyone is on a tight budget and looking to share accomodations feel free to contact me. Tom

preview - WineConf announcement and web pages
by Brian Vincent 17 Jan '05

17 Jan '05

First, here's a preview of some web pages I put together for WineConf 2005: - http://www.theshell.com/~vinn/wineconf05.html - http://www.theshell.com/~vinn/wineconf05-travel.html Below is a preview of an announcement to be sent to wine-devel and samba-technical. Anyone have any changes I should to either the announcement or the web pages? ---------------------- WHAT: WineConf 2005 WHEN: April 30 - May 1, 2005 WHERE: Institute of Communication Networks and Computer Engineering Stuttgart-Vaihingen Campus University of Stuttgart WHO: Anyone interested in Wine development. This is a developers-only conference. HOW: Check out WineHQ for travel details. We still have quite a lot to work out, including the actual agenda, but we'll update these web pages as more info becomes available: http://www.winehq.org/site/wineconf05 The website has details on joining the wineconf mailing list. At this point there's a lot of planning that remains, so you'll have to bear with us as that discussion occurs. For those of you interested in Samba development, you might want to check out the SambaXP conference (http://www.sambaxp.org) since it's going to occur the two days following WineConf. WineConf 2004 was a lot of fun and I hope everyone can make it again. With a little luck we'll be able to attract everyone who couldn't make it to balmy, breezy Minneapolis last year. ---------------------- -Brian

Hotel reservation
by Hans-Ulrich Schmid 17 Jan '05

17 Jan '05

Hello, Ulrich Gemkow and me did some research about the hotel facilities next to the WineCon venue. The Telekom Tagungshotel will probably be the best solution for the partcipants of the conference. You´ll find some information about the hotel on the (german) website: http://www.training.telekom.de/telekom-training/standorte/stuttgart.jsp - partcipants would have to pay 81 Euro per night (breakfast included) - WRS can reserve rooms like this (what do you think about it): April 28 - 5 rooms April 29 - 50 rooms April 30 - 50 rooms May 1 - 20 rooms - each partcipant would have to arrange his room reservation on his own (Keyword "WineCon"). Reservations must be done at least four weeks before the beginning of the conference. If you give a positive feedback to these suggestions, WRS will do the reservation.

Hi to all, > 3. I think WRS was going to look into some lodging options? Any > update on that? I imagine you guys are probably still working on > things. I´ve talked to Mr. Gemkow about this. We´ll do the reservations together. Can somebody tell me how much rooms we need a) in the hotel next to the university (60-100 Euro) b) in a youth hostel in Stuttgart downtown (35 minutes to reach the university) for the dates April 29, April 30 and May 1 What do you think about a social event on Saturday evening. I would suggest a wine tasting in a traditional Stuttgart vineyard. WRS can organize this.

Date/Rooms
by Ulrich Gemkow 13 Jan '05

13 Jan '05

Hello, because of another conference I was not able to book the rooms preferred for wineconf at the weekend of 23.4./24.4. For the weekend before this, there is the same problem. There are two possible solutions: * wineconf is moved to the weekend 30.4./1.5., for which I have temporarily reserved three rooms. This would be the preferred solution from my point of view because I have full control over these rooms at this weekend. As an additional advantage, the Samba conference follows directly (as Brian wrote). * I look for other rooms at the university campus. It may be possible to find suitable rooms, but then I have much less possibilities to support the conference because these rooms will then be in another building... Would you please form an opinion about what you prefer? Sorry about this and greetings Ulrich -- |----------------------------------------------------------------------- | Ulrich Gemkow |----- | Universität Stuttgart | Institut für Kommunikationsnetze und Rechnersysteme (IKR) | (bisher: Nachrichtenvermittlung und Datenverarbeitung (IND)) |----- | University of Stuttgart | Institute of Communication Networks and Computer Engineering (IKR) |----- | Pfaffenwaldring 47, D 70569 Stuttgart, Germany | mailto:gemkow@ikr.uni-stuttgart.de http://www.ikr.uni-stuttgart.de |-----------------------------------------------------------------------
