+X2Go was started 2006 as a network solution for a Bavarian high school (Gymnasium) by Oleksandr Shneyder and Heinz-M. Graesing.
+The name X2Go was choosen later as the first drafts were nameless. Phoca--the projects mascot--was invented 2006. Started as a PXE Boot Thin Client Environment, the client now is available for different desktops and operating systems.
+Mike Gabriel started his work on a python library and later on the pyhoca client. Members of the University of Erlangen joined the team 2010 and helped a lot with packaging and the new thin client environment.
