Dear Wine developers,
You may recall that I volunteered to help host WineConf in the Netherlands in 2007 when, after a vote, an offer by Dan Kegel to host at Google's offices in Zurich won the bid.
Last year WineConf went across the pond to Minnesota, so it seems natural that this year's WineConf will be hosted in the country with the highest number of Wine developers per capita ;-)
At Twente University Campus to be precise, near the city of Enschede: http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=10477059...
From November 6-8 (Friday to Sunday).
I chose this place because of its good facilities and relatively low costs; we want to make the conference accessible for as many developers as possible.
Directions, agenda, etc. will be made available on this page:
http://wiki.winehq.org/WineConf
Please e-mail me at wineconf@meelstraat.net if you intend to come, so we can make a better estimation of the number of attendees.
See you there!
-Hans

What is the status of the Wine Party Fund this year, to help with the cost of transportation/lodging? I remember quite a bit of it was used up last year...

This also provides a good time for us to publicly seek donations.

On a related note, I noticed when installing TortiseSVN on windows, that the installer has a donation button. Well, two actually, one with installing files on the progress screen, and one at the final 'finish' screen, asking for a donation.
When you click it, it goes to http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/donate.html.
So, two things: A) We really need a donation page. Currently, the donate button on http://www.winehq.org redirects you to paypal, without sending you to a WineHQ page first explaining what the donation is for, saying thanks, etc. It's a bit hard/tacky to send a donation request out if we don't have a page to send them to, other than paypal. B) We could add a button to winecfg for donating (under the 'Name'/'Company' fields in the 'About' tab). It's unobtrusive, non-invasive, and gives quite a bit of exposure (curious users check out all the tabs and would see it).
The donate tab may be a bit controversial, and I'm not proposing putting it in without gathering some opinions first. But I do think it's a really neat idea. There are often times I want to donate to a project, but I'm lazy and don't want to search through the site to find it. A button making it easier for me to do so => $ in their pocket.

I see no reason to change the practice of providing travel sponsorships.
I believe the WPF is lower this year than last, so we may be more restrained in what we can offer, but folks should definitely ask me if they're interested.
Cheers,
Jeremy

Like Steven/Roderick said, we can increase that quite a bit if we start fundraising early (now).

I and Aleksey Bragin will be attending to represent ReactOS. I've asked their developers, users and advocates to contribute a little change to both projects donation links. I think this is a good chance for those of us with relationships to other projects that directly affect or benefit from Wine to contribute something back.
Shouldn't this be "Announcing WineConf 2010" ?

Very strange. As a coincidence, we are moving closer to having a venue in Paris...Francois has done a lot of work on this. More details to follow.
Cheers,
Jeremy
