As it was written in the Book of Jeremy White jwhite@codeweavers.com:
This is great! It seems like 4/23 is the weekend that worked best for Brian, and Brian has done enough work organizing this that we owe him that change, imho.
Excellent news! I just confirmed those dates will definitely work for me. If that causes a problem for anyone else I can be flexible, but it sounds like it might work best.
I think we've agreed on the following:
- The event will be non-commercial in the sense we don't make money on it. CodeWeavers and WRS will provide $$$ and support to help pull this event off.
This is required for the university to host wineconf. We see this as an opportunity to support open source software.
Wineconf will be hosted at the University of Stuttgart.
The criteria for meeting space we came up with seems pretty solid. I included it at the bottom of this email in case anyone wants to review it again. Included are room sizes and other requirements.
It seems you missed to add the information, I need this to look for the rooms.
I think this is current working list of things to do:
- Confirm we have 3 rooms at the University that will meet the criteria we came up with. I think it's better to try to get 3 now, then try to add another later. Of course, if 3 is a problem then we can make 2 work. WRS will need confirmation of that. Confirm by 1/8?
After having the info how many rooms of which sizes are needed, I have to check with our central administration that the required rooms are free and not reserved for other purposes. For this I need some time.
Please wait with further broader announcements until we have the room reservation confirmed by our central administration.
- WRS will help locate lodging near the University. Lodging package by 1/14?
I can give some information on this if this helps
Send a message to wine-devel and let everyone know dates, times, places, and a plan for putting together an agenda. I think we should solicit wine-devel for ideas about how we should structure the presentations. I think last year CodeWeavers had it about 97% right but we did discuss adding multiple tracks this year. I can put this message together unless Jeremy wants to do it. Preview of message on 1/8 sent to this list, message sent to wine-devel on 1/10. (Keep in mind if I send the message on 1/10 there can still be a discussion on that day because of the timezone I'm in.)
Put together a simple website similar to last year's so we can distribute all the info from the above. Jeremy - do you think you can free up Newman sometime this week to do it? Tentative web site by 1/14? Or, I can put it together somewhere on WineHQ if no one minds me doing the cvs commits.
To Jeremy's point, anyone can subscribe to this list, but at the moment the discussion is around planning the event not discussing the specifics of people's travel arrangements.
Can anyone else think of what needs to be done?
Thanks Michael for looking into this and thank you Mr. Gemkow for the generous offer!
Hope this helps, Greetings
Ulrich
