What?

It's kinda like 2006, except with a lake! And people who speak funny German!

Who?

Mike Hearn and Dan Kegel organized it. Dan Kegel is a name you know already. Mike Hearn was an active Wine developer a few years ago.

How?

Sign up to the wineconf mailing list. Book a hotel (names to come soon). Fly to Zurich International Airport, then follow the instructions below. Turn up at the Google office on Freigutstrasse (careful, there are two) at 9am on the Saturday. Then just follow the guy in front.

Help?!

You can call Mike on his cellphone, the number was sent to the wineconf mailing list shortly before the event. Feel free to call him with any problems once you get here.
