Hehe.. now this year I'm on the other side of the fence. I would be thrilled if someone could have video available as a file download. I don't care so much about a stream and a stream not archived would be even more useless (unless I stay awake until 1am at a location with Internet access.) -Brian

Re: WineConf this weekend
Just being brutal about this - in years past, I felt we made a critical mistake in trying to do streaming audio or video. It never worked, was a distraction, and I'm not sure it ever benefited anyone. An obvious exception could be the keynote. Beyond that, my opinion is that irc chat logs, or emailed summaries are more useful. Cheers, Jeremy "ifdown eth0" White Mike Hearn wrote: > I'll ask Lucy about videos tomorrow.

Re: WineConf this weekend
I'll ask Lucy about videos tomorrow. I don't know how long we can record using the Google equipment but we make videos pretty regularly, so an unedited video stream might be plausible. Otherwise if somebody has a camera they want to bring along, feel free ... don't trust me to get video-recording sorted at this stage :/ On 10/2/07, James Hawkins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 10/2/07, Mike Hearn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hello, > > > > If you're on the wineconf mailing list, you already received all the > > details for this weekend.

WineConf this weekend
Hello, If you're on the wineconf mailing list, you already received all the details for this weekend. If you weren't planning on coming, but are near Zurich and want to tag along anyway, feel free! We'll be on the 5th floor of Freigutstrasse 12: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=freigutstrasse+12,zurich Hope you see you all there! thanks -mike

There are two reasons: 1. That name is a pseudonym, and we only accept patches from people using their real names. 2. Mr. Focht's contributions are valuable for understanding what MS is up to from time to time, but he does use a disassembler, and that's not allowed from Wine contributors. --Juan

Definitely. I have had a look at the search trend you gave a link to and WoW is consistently (abnormally?) high. I'm sure that the number of hours played (per user, per day, per week) is high as well... and the number of breakups as a result of this! - Reece

But WoW is the current money maker. Until Starcraft II :) (Interestingly, these are all Blizzard games.) There are different things to consider when deciding the popularity of a game. Searching Google is only really useful around the time of release (with a suitable time window either side). That is because there will be a media buildup to, say, Halo 3 and people will get excited about it. After release, you will get reviews from magazines and the like published on the internet, as well as user reviews from blogs. There will also be activity on game forums that may be hard to judge by Google alone. In time, as bugs and issues get resolved; as the excitement dies down, this activity will fade. Does this mean that the game is no longer popular? No. It may be that you are still making your way through Oblivion or its extensions, or that you are playing Starcraft, Warcraft III, Counterstike and others at LAN parties with friends. You may have dusted off your copy of Settlers II or Lemmings, installed DOSBox and are enjoying revisiting classic games. The online multiplayer facilities of games like Starcraft, and the MMORPG games like World of Warcraft and Guild Wars, have more visibility because of their online nature and visibility there. - Reece

That's > something to watch too. There are very few cash cow games, the ones I know were mentioned already. However, from a Wine point of view, the engines are more interesting. When looking at the engines, there are a few popular ones: ID Software engines(quake, doon), Unreal, Source, and a few others. Many of the new high end games released in the last months were Unreal 3 based. Bioshock, Medal of Honor: Airborne, Rainbow Six: Vegas, and others. Also note that while most engines are cross platform in their nature and have an opengl renderer, many games ship only the D3D backend, or the opengl backend is not functional. The games which cause the buzz on the graphics market are usually single player games(TES Oblivion, Bioshock). Those are usually used by users to talk about how good or crappy Wine is, but the games that are long term interesting and block Windows to Linux switches are always Multiplayer or Online games, or sometimes Kids games. Those games are usually rather simple in their graphics requirements. I think the main blockers for Wine as a gaming Platform isn't D3D any more. A few months back sound used to be a blocker, but Maarten has done a great job on that. Most issues seem to be located in the copy protection area, and in input handling. Sadly, there are some copy protection / anti cheat rootkits which are technically almost impossible to support(namely GameGuard), and in the Input area we have another OpenGL child window like problem. Also the network sometimes makes troubles, but this has improved with the recent wintrust / crypt work done for iTunes. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
