{{ :events:backtolife.jpg?nolink&400 |Motto: Back to life, back to reality!}}

** Motto: Back to life, back to reality! **

** Date: 2024-06-28 to 2024-06-30 **

** Location: [[https://goo.gl/maps/jEa519N4BVVSLvax8|Linuxhotel, Villa Vogelsang, Antonienallee 1, 45279 Essen-Horst, Germany]] **

** Evening Entertainment: Maybe a trip to an A320 flight simulator? **

X2Go: The Gathering is the annual event where users, admins, and developers (including the i18n volunteers) of X2Go meet face to face, to discuss current X2Go-related issues, fix open bugs, and have a good time getting to know each other. As there is some overlap between X2Go, Arctica, and orca e.V., you can expect to see members of those groups as well. 

As usual, this will be a three-day event, and a “work and play” gathering; We'll have grid power, WiFi, hotel style rooms, youth hostel-like service, recreational facilities available, group entertainment available in the evening.

Please visit this page regularly to keep track of all updates.

Important updates will also be posted on our X2Go-Project mailing list.

Everything else: Still TBD.

===== Topics =====
  * The usual "X2Go: State of the Union" talk
  * X2Go and Wayland/Waypipe -> investigate, provide rough sketch/outline
  * shell.segfault.net and X2Go -> try it out, document it
    * FAQ https://www.thc.org/segfault/faq #13 seems relevant
    * libssh doesn't support SetEnv in config
    * using secret@segfault.net returns a prompt where the secret can be entered manually, X2GoClient could try to parse this like a 2FA auth ...
