Re: WineConf 2019: call for volunteers
by Jeremy White 14 Mar '19

14 Mar '19

The Wine funding committee reviewed the two proposals and unanimously chose Toronto, and also selected the dates of October 12/13. We're going to try to formalize this process a bit for future years, but the thought was to have that conversation in person at this years Wine conference. Thank you to Austin for offering Austin; we look forward to considering that another year. I will leave it to Ulrich to announce more details formally once he has solidified the plans. Cheers, Jeremy

FOSDEM 2019
by Henri Verbeet 19 Jan '19

19 Jan '19

As most of you are probably aware, this year's FOSDEM [1] will take place on February 2 & 3. For me Brussels is close enough that I could decide on the day itself whether to go or not, but I was wondering whether anyone else is planning to attend, would like to attend, or could be convinced to attend. It's probably too late to have a Wine stand or anything of the sort, but if there's sufficient interest it's probably a nice opportunity to meet-up over some drinks, and perhaps talk to some people from other Free Software projects.

Hey all, Just a heads up if anyone going to FOSDEM is looking for something to do... Cheers, Jeremy -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: FOSDEM is coming right up! Date: Fri, 11 Jan 2019 12:56:12 -0500 From: Deb Nicholson <deb(a)sfconservancy.org> Organization: Software Freedom Conservancy To: project-reps(a)sfconservancy.org Hi all, FOSDEM is coming right up! We recently published a post with lots of the Conservancy and member project activities that are happening at, or in conjunction with, this year's conference here, https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2019/jan/04/fosdem2019/ If you have news to add -- your co-located member project meeting, a stand we missed, hackfest, etc -- please let me know and I'll add it to the post. Tell us about your talks too. We're planning to compile a list of Conservancy and project talks that we'll promote at our FOSDEM stand. Speaking of which, we could really use some volunteers for the Conservancy stand. You are welcome to bring your project's swag with you and it's a great time to catch up with Conservancy staff and supporters. Email me if you can swing by our FOSDEM booth or just want to hand off some materials. And finally... ATTN FOSDEM travellers: you have limited time to do a flight search and book travel *without having to ask for an exception.* Flights need to be booked at least two weeks in advance, plus hotels in Brussels are filling up. If you haven't already told us that you are travelling to FOSDEM and you are expecting to use projects funds to do so, please let us know ASAP by emailing approvals(a)tix.sfconservancy.org Thanks and looking forward to seeing many of you in Brussels!

Next wineconf
by Jeremy White 09 Jan '19

09 Jan '19

Hey folks, We punted on the question of where to have the next Wineconf. Two candidates we considered were Japan and Toronto. I've asked folks at Valve if they would be willing to present at the next conference, and the answer was positive for Toronto, and less enthusiastic for Japan. Ulrich has been patiently offering to host for many years, and I think it would be good to rotate back to North America on it's scheduled year. So I propose we have WineConf 2019 in Toronto, with a tentative plan to try for Japan in 2020. One question we also never addressed was what of time of year. It seemed as though summer worked really well last year. Historically, the 'plan' was early fall; procrastination has forced us to late fall in recent years. But I volunteered to conduct a quick survey, which is here: https://goo.gl/forms/wnWeIRWkYqTmrUtI3 If we get a statistically compelling set of answers, we'll follow those results. Otherwise, how about we let Ulrich pick. That all make sense? Pitchforks and torches go here. Cheers, Jeremy

16 Sep '18

The first few WineConf 2018 videos are up at [1]. Currently we have the keynote and the CodeWeavers company update on there. We'll hopefully be uploading more over the next couple of days. We may also upload copies to other hosts like YouTube in the future. [1] https://peertube.mastodon.host/accounts/wineconf2018/videos

Some questions about WineConf.
by Gert Otten 10 Sep '18

10 Sep '18

Hello, I'm a Wine user since somewhere around 1.5 (2012, I believe?), and ever since then I got really interested in it. (Of course Wine is not my only interest within the computer space.) Since I don't have deep pockets at the moment, I was really happy to find out that WineConf is hosted in The Netherlands this year, though I have to travel all the way to the other side of the country since I live in Overijssel. Thus it got me wondering whether it would be possible to attend for just one day. I'd also like to know about the ARM Emulation update. Is this about the x86-on-ARM Android syscall emulation or? Because it doesn't say x86-on-ARM specifically. As for my last question: It's hosted at a hotel, right? So I basically register online, and just show my ID at the hotel reception? Just making sure I get the right place and all. Thanks in advance & best regards, Gerhardus Otten

The future of WineConf
by Henri Verbeet 13 Jul '18

13 Jul '18

We touched on this during WineConf a little already, but were slightly short on time. With most people back from travel and the videos starting to get published, now seems like a good time to continue that conversation. Key points from the previous conversation: - We have several offers for hosting WineConf 2019. In no particular order: - Kiev, Ukraine, by Arthur Hil - Bali, Indonesia, by Aric Stewart - Vilnius, Lithuania, by Ričardas Barkauskas - Japan, by Alexandre Julliard - Toronto, Canada, by Ulrich Czekalla - Minnesota, United States of America, by Jeremy White - Austin, Texas, United States of America, by Austin English Most of those are longer standing ones; Kiev, Bali and Japan are new this year. There's an argument for holding WineConf somewhere other than Europe and the United States after 16 years, although travel costs are also a consideration. Another fact worth pointing out in this context is that September 12, 2019 would be the 25th anniversary of Alexandre's maintainership of Wine. - The time of year this time seems to have been generally well-received. - Samathy proposed having a Code of Conduct for the conference. While, to my knowledge, there has never been an instance where one would have been needed, and hopefully that will continue to be the case in the future, it seems prudent to me to have one. - The CFP could have been more formal/explicit. - General discussion slots are still considered useful. We'd like to preserve those. Other points I'd like to bring up: - What did people think of the A/V recording? Was that a good thing, and something we should continue to keep improving? Or is the consensus that it's intrusive and not worth bothering with? - I think there was a sentiment, at least with some people, that 2-3 days was fairly short and we weren't quite done discussing things yet. Would it perhaps make sense to extend the conference by a day in the future an include e.g. Monday as well? - Should we put more effort into attracting external (e.g., from the broader Free Software community, and people/organisations using Wine) speakers? We'd like to hear your feedback on these points, as well as your general feedback about which things you liked and would like to keep seeing in the future, and which things you disliked. If there's any feedback you'd rather not give in public, you can of course always simply send me a private e-mail as well. Henri
