• Our goal is to give the online community convenient access to our most recent work.
  • We chose a server location in Germany as our objective is that the portal around the GIT repository does not offend German laws regarding privacy protection.
  • We also chose a neutral space, so it is not bound to any company or person.
  • Many people working with X2go already were Berlios members when the project's GIT repository was set up, this was another reason for choosing Berlios.
• the X2go development team also runs an internal code repository. This is the team's private sandbox. This internal repository contains a copy of the public master branch of X2go as well as internal space for drafts, collecting new ideas, internal testing, etc.
• In regular intervals (i.e. whenever sensible) the X2go development team pushes their work from their sandbox to the public GIT repository at Berlios. Thus, at Berlios you can always find the latest functional, sometimes semi-functional/testing X2go code available (HEAD). On BerliosGIT this will be the repository's master branch.
• Community members, however, can apply for a GIT branch in X2go's BerliosGIT. The person who apply for a branch will further on be called the »branch owner«. Branch owners can gather people around them. If other people than the branch owner shall have write access to the branch, the branch owner must inform the GIT admin about this so that access control rules (ACLs) can be adapted.
• the X2go team encourages you to form teams and work on your own branch and create your own blend of X2go. This will enable us all to cooperate and benefit from each others' work.

• every GIT branch is readable by the public, there can be no private branches
• the master branch is maintained by the X2go core development team (currently: Alex & Heinz)
• other branches (apply for one by mail to git-admin@x2go.org)
  • a branch is writeable by the branch owner
  • a branch is also writeable by any person named by the branch owner
  • the branch owner can also ask to withdraw write access to a particular person
• the current ACLs of BerliosGIT is documented below on this Wiki pageX2go wiki
