I'd like to propose a slight change in format, Michael. Rather than an emphasis solely on presentations, I think we would do well to have more of a mix of presentations and working groups.
For example, I think it would be great to have a working group tackle the issue of performance in Wine. I'd be happy to spark a 'What should be in Wine 1.0?' discussion group on Friday (can't make it on Saturday). Also, I think that Francois's topic might sensibly be shifted into a discussion of how best to do regression testing. Of course, this implies that white boards and laptop power will be a key ingredient... Thoughts? Comments? Other working group topics we should address?
