Hi, my name is André Hentschel, a Wine developer. I guess I'm mostly known for my Wine on ARM work , but this time I'll try to revive WWN for you. As I'm not a native speaker, enjoy my typos :)

WWN started in 1999 as Wine's kernel cousin publication and is also known as Wine Weekly News or more realisticallly World Wine News. It has long been driven by Zachary Goldberg, but stalled nearly four years ago.

I can't present many news this time, mostly because I'm not a journalist and thus need the help from others to gather topics around Wine to report. At best they already come with some more text than just the headline and are posted to RecentNewsQueue in our Wiki , which is totally out of date.

Wine might be present at the LinuxTag in Berlin which happens from 8th to 10th May in Berlin / Germany.

Possible talks:

• Is Wine Still Relevant?
• Playing Windows games with Wine.
• Wine on Android.
• Pipelight.

Maybe there will also be a Wine booth, but it obviously needs more resources than a talk does.

We enjoyed a great FOSDEM this year again and one big change compared to last year is that nearly all talks were recorded, including the Wine ones. The videos are already available at video.fosdem.org/2014/AW1120/Sunday/ , but they lack sound at the time of writing. The cause is that the videos only contain the right audio channel and we chose the left one for the microphone. We depend on the FOSDEM volunteers to do the re-encoding for us, so be patient, they have a lot to do and are doing a great job.

More Problems:

Since last WWN from 2010, there was a total change of +392, thanks to updates by App Maintainers, and +198, thanks to updates by the Public. Both across more than 5600 Applications! That's the main reason I'm not listing this huge period of time here.
