If you have been idly talking about many giving a presentation and you have not e-mailed
me directly saying 'Yes, I am giving a presentation' then I have likely NOT added
those to the schedule.
So e-mail me now and get you slot all secured.

Hello,
As discussed during WineConf 2017, I am helping coordinate the talks and presentations
this year.
In previous years we have been very last minute and laid back in the proposal and
scheduling of presentations. While this has it's advantages I have volunteered to help
call for and organize presentations further in advance so speakers have some time to
prepare the presentation they wish to give.
General Guidelines:
* Please provide an estimate of how long your talk will be. We are shooting for
approximate 40 minute slots with between 15-20 minutes of talk and with likely an equal
amount of question and discussion time afterward. Generally shorter talks are not an
issue, however longer talks will need to be discussed and will be considered based on the
rest of the schedule.
* Topics should obviously be of interest to the other attendees, i.e., the broader
Wine community, but note that that doesn't imply the talk has to be about Wine itself
* If you have a preferred time and date for your talk please indicate that to me when
you submit your talk. We will try to make it work as best we can.
Here are the rough proposed slots, They will be changed and modified as required by the
addenda as it gets fleshed out. Understand that even with this shift toward a scheduled
day we will not disrupt productive conversation to fit to the schedule. The schedule will
warp and flow as required to facilitate the talk, not force the talks to conform to it.
This does mean if you are planing to try to attend a given talk you will likely want to
arrive a bit early and understand if when you arrive the schedule is either behind or
ahead of plan.
Daily Slots:
09:00 - 09:40 slot 1
09:45 - 10:25 slot 2
10:30 - 11:00 break
11:00 - 11:40 slot 3
12:00 - 13:00 lunch break
13:00 - 13:40 slot 4
13:45 - 14:25 slot 5
14:30 - 15:00 break
15:00 - 15:40 slot 6
15:45 - 16:25 slot 7
16:25 - 17:00 Overflow time / small group discussion / short presentations
We will track proposed presentations on the WineConf Wiki:
https://wiki.winehq.org/WineConf2018
If this more organized presentation proposal process works well, we may try to expand it
to include scheduling times in the near future. But for this year getting a working
itinerary and scheduling the talks during the opening of the conference is likely
acceptable. However if you have a preference toward Saturday or Sunday please express
that.
If you would like to give a presentation! Please e-mail me directly! I will keep the
Wiki updated with presentations and scheduling as we get it worked out.
If you would like to see a given presentation, reach out on the mailing list, see if you
can get the people qualified to give the presentation to step up and contact me!
Likely we will have open time at the conference which we will propose presentations and
fill at the time. We have never had a problem finding things we all want to talk about.
thanks!
