Time enough?

[André Hentschel]

Hi,
there are meanwhile some announced talks, so i wonder if there is time enough at wineconf?
My part will be following (if time):
Find a good name for my upcoming CE support project and what it's all about.
I would like to find a name for it by writing down some ideas and then quickly vote for it by hand counting.

Note that we generally create an agenda as our first action item, taking
in mind what people want to talk about and what people are prepared to
talk about.

Note that the strong feeling has been that talks that help spur
conversations are great, but that talks that bore people or go on longer
than necessary to spur conversations are strongly frowned upon.

The (perhaps extreme) ideal is 10 minutes of prepared talk, 50 minutes
of open discussion, and 6 hours of pub time <grin>.

Someday we're going to reach our ideal of going to the pub immediately
following the keynote <grin>.

Cheers,

Jeremy

That fine with me.  I'm wondering whether I should try and trigger
discussion about concurrency, timing and correctness esp. w.r.t. audio.

However I've very little time to prepare anything and I won't bring a
laptop or even an USB stick, so I'd depend on somebody providing a
laptop with Internet access in order to display a few pages off the
web during these 10 minutes. (I'd then probablyl put the links on the Wiki).
Is that possible anyway?

Is thread-safety and multi-tasking interesting?

Sounds like an interesting topic to me.

Note that my plan will be to list these topics, and then add new
suggestions to make up our agenda on Saturday.

Cheers,

Jeremy

I've put together what I want to talk about (and the
last section to start discussion) on wiki.winehq.org/JörgHöhle
Please see if that's ok. As I said, I'd need somebody
with a laptop to preload a selection of the pages that I've linked
from there (I've also added more links for readers only).
