+ | |||
+ | __Info for train travellers: | ||
+ | * **Attention: | ||
+ | * The nearest subway station is " | ||
+ | * This subway line is operated by Deutsche Bahn, so you can book your railway ticket to destination Essen-Horst and have the subway ticket included in your regular train ticket. Advantage: no need to figure out how the local ticket vending machine works (plus it's probably cheaper that way). | ||
+ | * It's a ~ 15 Minute walk from Essen-Horst to the Linuxhotel, please use the route as suggested here: http:// | ||
+ | * NB: some navigation systems plot a shorter pedestrian route that leads through the woods, but from personal experience I (Stefan) can tell you that you do not want to use that path when carrying luggage, possibly in the dark, when you've never walked it before. | ||

+ | |||
+ | === X2GoHackTrain 2012 (2012-09-30) === | ||
+ | X2GoHackTrain 2012 started out as a plan for a company-sponsored BBQ for the X2Go core developers. | ||
+ | During the initial planning stages, it turned out that Alex (X2Go Co-Founder) would not be able to attend during summer due to his personal commitments, | ||
+ | |||
+ | So, X2GoHackTrain to the rescue: As the owner of the company that wanted to sponsor the BBQ is also a member of a volunteer organization that maintains a heritage Diesel railbus, the decision was made to gather inside the train, have lunch together at a railway station diner along the way, and visit a car museum. | ||
