Hi,
I really liked the WineConf in Paris, that event was fun! Yet, as I understood, it was intended for active developers to meet and I think it was set up this way. One couldn't probably gain much from that event if not already participating. If WineConf is wanted to change, I'd think it would need something like hands-on sessions (prepared, not ad-hoc), maybe workshops (bug-hunting?), etc... That would fit well to FOSDEM, but would be quite a different thing. Maybe WINE wants to have both? :)
Yeah there's some Xorg stuff going on as well. I'm visiting fosdem 2012 for that reason. Would be interesting to know if any wine devs go this year. Might meet
Though I am not really active at the moment, I'll be at FOSDEM from Friday evening to Sunday afternoon.
Regards,
Wolfram
