From: Jerry Feldman Subject: [Cone] Boston Linux Meeting Wednesday, April 20, 2005 Converting Windows Applications to Linux Date: Thu, 14 Apr 2005 01:18:19 +0000 When: April 20, 2005 7:00PM (6:30 for Q&A) Topic: Converting Windows Applications to Linux Moderator: Ira Krakow Location: MIT Building E51 Room 145 Ira discusses Wine and Winelib, which make it possible to run some Windows applications on Linux, and to more easily port applications that were originally written for a Windows platform. He'll also touch on other projects that can help an enterprise overcome its Windows dependencies, such as ReactOS (the open source port of Windows NT), MinGW (the port of GCC for Windows programs), and Mono (essentially, Wine for .NET and C#). Ira is currently co-authoring a book for Prentice-Hall, on Wine and Winelib; his co-author is Brian Vincent.
