I cannot speak for the FOSDEM organization, but I seriously doubt you
will get a full track on the first year with no single talk about Wine
in the past.

IMHO having WineConf as part of FOSDEM would dilute WineConf. FOSDEM
is just too big.
Having Wine-related talks at FOSDEM would be perfectly fine, though,
and I would even encourage you to ask for a keynote (you have to
submit the keynote proposal in October, IIRC).

This should not be a problem at all. Wine fits perfectly in the
contents of the CrossDesktop DevRoom. I cannot say there will be a
CrossDesktop DevRoom next year but I'm 99% sure there will be.
Unfortunately for you, we have received confirmation from all the
speakers in the CrossDesktop DevRoom already. Would you be interested
in a slot in case we receive a last-minute cancellation?
