Yes! Now to be seriouse.. I think a yearly Wineconf is very important
because it brings everyone together for a couple days and the developers
of Wine can *discuss*  future technology's. If you look over the last 
six months
you will see that Wine has progressed at a very nice clip. I feel on a 
personal
basis this is in part do to Winconf 2002.
  I don't know how the rest of you feel about this .. But I would like 
to change the
name of the "Wine party fund" to the "Wine conference fund" the money in 
this
fund would go toward travel/accomodations for developers. As there are 
at this time
developers who are not employed  by companies that use wine in 
commercial applications.

Dimi would be a good example here !!! This guy puts many hours of his 
life into *Wine*
And as he has pointed out here on *THIS* list not for a single 
dime..............
why not pay him back a little by using some of this money on his travel 
or accomodations ?
And this is only one example and im sure there are *many* others as well !!!

I should note that I was not present at Wineconf 2002 but I will be at 
2003 at my expence
and I will not ask or take any money from the wine (( conference))  fund.

So I would like to propose a vote to change the "party fund"  to 
"conference fund".

Any objections ? If not I will be more than happy to send the patch :)


> and this also sounds like a worthy cause.

We could also spend *some* of the money on docs if it comes down to 
it..... And im glad that none of the current "party"
fund money had to go out on this as we stepped up to the cause and 
donated out of pocket for this.....

I will still give $50.00 more to the < ?? > = (( conference))  fund 
beside to this *DOC* fund anyone care to match me ?

Feedback, comments, flames more than welcome. lets hear them....... As 
Tony once told me " why be shy"
