In that regard, let me say: this year I am coorganizing the CrossDesktop DevRoom at FOSDEM and I am truly disappointed we have not received a single talk proposal about Wine, even though I sent the call for talks and a reminder to this list. With my open source developer hat on, an introductory talk on Wine development would be very appealing to me. Also, a talk (or maybe more than one) for third-party ISVs which want to make sure their applications work with Wine would also be nice. At work we seriously considered Wine for a big product which uses embedded virtualization that could probably be replaced with Wine, but we didn't really have a clue where to get started or what we could achieve in 1 year if we put a few people to hack on Wine. Expectations were so unclear management was not in the mood to throw a few thousands to hire CodeWeavers or any Wine hacker in Europe for a preliminary study. -- Pau Garcia i Quiles http://www.elpauer.org (Due to my workload, I may need 10 days to answer)
