ReactOS at Wineconf
by Steven Edwards 20 Mar '05

20 Mar '05

Hi, I have put together our presentation for Wineconf and as most everyone knows what ReactOS is I have made our presentation more a list of ideas on how we can work together better along with short Q/A times for each. I expect we will need about 45 minuets given the number of pages in my PPT and the time for Q&A on each section. Please let me know if I need to trim to save some time. Thanks Steven __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Small Business - Try our new resources site! http://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/resources/

WineConf: book your hotel now
by Brian Vincent 17 Mar '05

17 Mar '05

I'm just sending this out as a reminder for everyone to book your hotel room for WineConf. For more information, check out: 1. http://www.winehq.com/site/wineconf 2. http://www.winehq.com/site/wineconf/travel The last day to reserve a room is tomorrow - March 17th. There's no guarantee rooms will be available after that, and I don't have any indication the hotel will allow reservations after that. If you haven't looked at the details, it's a great deal - 81EUR for Friday and Saturday night and it includes breakfast in the morning. If you're thinking to yourself, "I'd like to go to Wineconf, but I don't think I'm cool enough." Well, you should try to attend. You'll probably really enjoy it. PS - still looking for ideas for the agenda, if you have any, let me know. Also let me know if you'd like to present something. -Brian

AW: any space left at the hotel?
by Hans-Ulrich Schmid 08 Mar '05

08 Mar '05

Hi, I´ve asked the hotel. There are enough rooms left! It´s important, that the partcipants tell the keyord "WineCon" when they try to reserve the room. Please reserve at least four weeks before the beginning of the conference (March 17) See you in Stuttgart Hans-Ulrich Schmid Wirtschaftsförderung Region Stuttgart GmbH Stuttgart Region Economic Development Corporation FIR_st - Forum IT-Region Stuttgart Friedrichstr. 10 70174 Stuttgart www.first.region-stuttgart.de www.opensource.region-stuttgart.de www.competenzatlas.de www.region-stuttgart.de Tel ++49.711.22835 - 27 Tel mobil ++49.172.7310463 Fax ++49.711.22835 - 55 > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: wineconf-admin(a)winehq.org [mailto:wineconf-admin@winehq.org]Im > Auftrag von Brian Vincent > Gesendet: Dienstag, 8.

any space left at the hotel?
by Brian Vincent 08 Mar '05

08 Mar '05

Hey guys, Ira Krakow just emailed me to say the hotel is out of rooms. Can anyone confirm that? If so, it seems like we have more people at the hotel than on the RSVP list, or the hotel doesn't have as many rooms. Can someone call them? -Brian

WineConf agenda ideas
by Brian Vincent 25 Feb '05

25 Feb '05

Over the the past week or so I've harassed some folks about the agenda for WineConf. At this point there's a lot that remains to be filled in, but I need some feedback. Also, I need more ideas for presentations. Does anyone want to present something? It'd be great if someone would volunteer. I think what we're shooting for is a presentation followed by discussion all contained within about one hour. In total we'll have 10 - 12 different topics. Here's the items that are definitely going to be on the agenda: WRS intro Keynote - Alexandre Road to .9 and 1.0 - Dimi ReactOS update - all the ReactOS guys Wine / networking / Samba issues - Juan Lang We've also got some other items, but I need feedback as to whether any of you find this stuff interesting. (So reply and tell me if any of these items sound interesting.) Windows authentication - Andrew Bartlett (um.. haven't asked him yet though) Something else Samba related? - Samba guys Commercial port of a Winelib app and using Wine - an enterprise user CXTest and regression testing - someone from CodeWeavers Version control - Mike Hearn wearing a fire retardant suit DCOM work - Mike or Rob DirectX update - ? Also, if you need to make hotel reservations, there's just a few weeks left to do that. Check out the WineConf page for details: http://www.winehq.org/site/wineconf As people begin to figure out travel plans, the wineconf mailing list will pick up.

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 |-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Re: Hotel reservation
by Tom 18 Jan '05

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
