Virtual event
Replacement event for X2Go: The Gathering 2023 - which could not take place due to Covid-19 and scheduling conflicts

Radio interview with Stefan (in German)
X2Go's new release/X2Go KDrive and orca e.V. were the first two main topics during the interview
Prerecorded online on Thursday, 2023-11-23
Was originally supposed to be aired around Christmas
Since we mentioned some upcoming events (X2Go: The Spread 2023 and orca e.V.'s annual meeting), they spontaneously decided to air it sooner, before those events

Was a hybrid event
Website: https://kilux.de/
Not enough local X2Go volunteers for a live booth :'(
Not enough topics to fill a 50 minute presentation slot (they don't offer shorter ones)/not enough time to prepare a talk :'(
Event took place without us, due to lack of volunteers :'(

real-life event
Website: https://hack4glarus.ch/
Participants: Mihai, Stefan, Juri, Naira
This was a Hackathon, not a “booth and talk” event
Juri fixed our Samsung Demo Laptop (needed a keyboard swap)
Juri also worked on PXE booting X2Go-TCE in an IPv6 environment
Mihai worked on fixing a bug regarding autocomplete with regards to X2GoClient's Session Tiles/Subfolders (Bug #1419 in our Bugtracker)
Stefan
- tried using X2GoClient in direct and SSH Proxy mode via native IPv6 and in a hybrid IPv6/IPv4 environment, to find and document further bugs and issues
- also tried to run X2Go-TCE-Live in ungleich's IPv6 environment, it still showed the same issues as last time - no working DNS resolution, even though rdnssd and resolvconf packages are installed
- also tried to upgrade X2Go-TCE to Bookworm, with mixed results
  - Build system upgrade to Bookworm complete
  - TCE builds complete without error, but …
  - X11 won't start. :'(
  - This will need further testing/debugging
- demo'ed the HTML5Client Beta to Nico (from H4G/Ungleich/DatacenterLight).
- showed Mihai issues in X2GoClient that occur when a connection attempt is made via Tor (works via proxy, but not direct)

real-life event
No official booth - booths were not part of the CfP. But we had a “remote booth” (hey, we're a remote desktop project, after all) outside - on public property, running from a mobile battery/inverter pack and a Raspberry Pi 3 with a USB LTE modem as improvised WiFi hotspot - see below for pictures.
- Booth staff: Stefan, Mihai
- Additional hardware support provided by: Juri
Talk (in German): Stefan presented the new X2Go release and the new features
- talk details, taken from schedule page
- You can find the “dress rehearsal” (no fancy edits, no proper background, no X2Go-themed shirt) recording here, and the slides in PDF format here.
