Date/Rooms

[Ulrich Gemkow]

Hello,

because of another conference I was not able to book the rooms preferred for
wineconf at the weekend of 23.4./24.4. For the weekend before this, there is
the same problem.

There are two possible solutions:

* wineconf is moved to the weekend 30.4./1.5., for which I have temporarily
  reserved three rooms. This would be the preferred solution from my point
  of view because I have full control over these rooms at this weekend.
  As an additional advantage, the Samba conference follows directly (as 
  Brian wrote).

* I look for other rooms at the university campus. It may be possible to
  find suitable rooms, but then I have much less possibilities to support
  the conference because these rooms will then be in another building...

Would you please form an opinion about what you prefer?

Sorry about this and greetings

Ulrich

30.4/1.5 work fine for me, fwiw.  It also sounds like that would
let us dovetail nicely with the Samba folks.

I'm fine with that date too.

As it was written in the Book of Ulrich Gemkow :

Sounds good to me.  My co-workers already have vacations planned during
this time, so it's getting harder and harder for me to get the time off.
As of right now I can still get 4/26 - 5/2 off.

Sound good to everyone?  Should I send the following to wine-devel?

WINECONF 2005!

We have a tentative reservation for Wineconf and we'd like some feedback
regarding dates and times.  Currently:

WHERE: Stuttgart, Germany 
WHEN: April 30 / May 1st (plan on arriving April 29th)

We realize it's not possible to accomodate everyone's schedule, but these
dates seem to work nicely for a lot of people.  In addition, SambaXP will
be held May 2nd and 3rd near the area, so this event may attract some
other folks interested in this stuff.

Can anyone foresee any glaring problems with the location and dates?
Otherwise, we'll move forward with firming up the plans and send an
official announcement later in the week.

I say "go for it". It seems that if we wait longer, we may lose these 
dates as well....

We've gotten over 4m (!) of snow in the past few days, so I'm taking off
and going skiing.  Since I'll be offline for a few days I just wanted to
follow up and make sure I'm clear on where we're at:

1.  Mr. Gemkow has a definite reservation for Apr 30 / May 1 for 3
rooms at the University.  At this point, is there any problem with
the meeting space?  Can this item be considered completed?

2.  No one on wine-devel seemed to have a problem with the dates, and
Jeremy confirmed Alexandre can make it.  So everything seems good
there.

3.  I think WRS was going to look into some lodging options?  Any
update on that?  I imagine you guys are probably still working on
things.

I mentioned I would put together a web page and announcement at the
end of the week.  Michael sent some excellent info on Stuttgart, such
as how to arrange transportation and some hostel info.  It's a great
start for a web page.  I'd like everyone here to review it first, so 
perhaps it would be best if I put those two things off until Monday.  
I can put together an announcement and web page on Sunday, email the 
list, and then when I wake up on Monday morning I can make any changes
you guys have.

Regarding SambaXP - I'm quite excited we might be able to coordinate
some developers getting together.  I mentioned to Andrew Bartlett I'd
email samba-technical when we had plans together.  Anyone care if I 
send the announcement to them at the same time?

Should we come up with a way to keep track of people coming?  I wouldn't
mind just having people email me personally and then adding them to the 
web page.

I have a confirmed reservation for three rooms at this weekend.
So this item is completed from my side of view.

I will give more details - also in response to a previous mail from
Michael - in a separate mail as soon as possible...

It would help me if you could mention the hosting organisation (or with
better wording) as

University of Stuttgart
  Institute of Communication Networks and Computer Engineering

Thank you and greetings
