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=1047705…
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(a)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.

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.
