That would place us either in the US around the CIFS conference in September or in Europe around SambaXP time in April. The alternative would be to just invite the Samba team to join us for WineConf. I'm happy to pass on an invitation.
Doing them sequentially as Scott suggests would be better I think, based upon the WineConf in Germany. We only have a limited amount of time and don't want it to be too much Samba and not enough Wine.
Huh? I didn't want to imply anything else. I'm just saying that there's two conferences that make most Samba developers travel around to meet. Those are SambaXP and the CIFS conference. So if we want to have WineConf sequentially with one of these events, those are the ones to aim for.
SambaXP is always in Göttingen, Germany, in late April. We already missed it for this year. The second one is always in Silicon Valley, in September. We don't want to meet in the US this year, either. So at least for this year, this isn't going to work.
Now, my suggestion for this year was to invite interested Samba developers to join us at WineConf. There's quite a few European Samba developers. Scott said something about talking to a couple of Samba developers at UDC. I guess that Jelmer Vernooij was one of them, and he's Dutch. So for him it's easy to get to Enschede. A couple of other folks are based in Germany, so it's possible they might join in as well.
That's all that I wanted to say. Kai
