Wineconf 2004, otherwise known as...

[Steven Edwards]

Hey Jer,
I will try to be there. I can't speak for the rest of the ReactOS
developers but I think we may have one or two that would like
to come.

I have always wanted to see the Russian Winter so I guess
St. Paul in January is good practice.

Thanks
Steven
