WineConf Preliminary Agenda

[Brian Vincent]

I sent some emails this week to get a preliminary agenda together.  I'd say
it's about half complete.  So we've got:

Keynote - Alexandre
Road to .9 and 1.0 - Dimi
ReactOS demo - all the ReactOS guys
Version Control - Mike Hearn
Something related to RPC + Wine + Samba - Juan Lang 

We've got a few other items as well, but I think we need to make sure 
we're not overlooking other topics.  I'd hate to put something on the
agenda and then pull it back off.  I think 10-12 different topics is the
goal.  Last year we had 12, so I'd say that's definitely an upper bound;
we couldn't have squeezed another in. 

As far as other topics, I'd really like to see something fun on there - 
maybe DirectX eye candy.  Also, Andrew Bartlett is the Samba authentication
systems guru and will be there.  I'm not sure if he'd be willing to present
anything, nor am I sure anything would be relevant to Wine.  However, it
seems to me it could be interesting (of course, since it's an area of
Windows and Wine I know nothing about I could be way off base.)

At this point I think we just need to fill in the gaps.  I'm not sure if 
there's a lot of people who want to present something or not, but I think 
it's time to ask on wine-devel.  First, however, does anyone on this list
have any ideas?  (If I've already asked you, don't worry - I made a note.)
I'm not sure how many WineConf attendees have subscribed to this list so
far, but I bet it's less than half.

The next step after finalizing the agenda will be putting together a short
email outlining presentation guidelines and what equipment will be available. 
Someone asked if there would be a community laptop containing all of the
presentations so we didn't spend time shuffling equipment around.  I think
that's an excellent idea, what do you guys think?
