WineConf 2004 21
Anonymous Coward writes "The WineConf conference has opened up.
Everyone is welcome at the second semi regular conference of Wine enthusiasts. Come and gather with fellow Wine hackers to:
* Discuss the future of Wine
* Work on nasty glibc bugs
* Attack installers in an install-o-thon
* Relax in the beautiful winter weather of Minnesota, enjoying the St. Paul Winter Carnival (complete with Ice Palace!).
* Marvel at how the weather promotes an amazing amount of hacking time.
* Hoist a real glass of Wine with your compadres at the Mall of America.
The conference is in the early stages of planning, so full details are not yet available. However, here are the details that are firm:
Date
Saturday, January 31st and Sunday, February 1st, 2004."

In this case Wine was doing some seriously bad things with threading, poking internal structures and overriding the threading subsystem etc - when threading on Linux came up for an overhaul surprise surprise Wine broke. It's mostly fixed now, I think. The end result is a lot more sane and robust though.
