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?
