X2GO:BTTR - X2Go: Back To The Roots - @ Treuchtlingen, the Birthplace of X2Go
Three-day event at Treuchtlingen. This is a “work and play” gathering.
Germany's Federal Parliamentary Elections are scheduled for Sunday, 2017-09-24. If you're eligible to vote, we kindly ask you to cast your vote by postal vote on or before 2017-09-20.

---|---|---|
Accommodation | 56,00 EUR | 69,00 EUR |
Breakfast | incl. | incl. |
Lunch | tbd | tbd |
Dinner | tbd | tbd |
Total | tbd | tbd |
Additional costs: We have been provided a cost-free meeting room by the City of Treuchtlingen; if we don't have enough cars available, we might need to call taxis for the transfer.
Please note that the 2-bed bedroom is indeed more expensive per person than the single room, unlike in the previous years at Linuxhotel. This is due to the 2-bed bedrooms being newly renovated.
For those of you signing up for accommodation, the following rules are part of the deal:
Sign-Up Deadline: 2017-09-08
Cost-Free Cancellation Deadline: 2017-09-12
Please sign up ASAP if you intend to attend - we only have a limited amount of beds reserved in advance - first come, first serve. If we're exceeding that number, we run the risk of being unable to accommodate you. Currently available: 2 out of 10 single rooms, 1 out of 1 double room.
To register, or to submit a talk/workshop proposal, simply send an eMail to: X2Go-ML-1@baur-itcs.de
Note that we're planning to found a “eingetragener Verein”, a non-profit legal entity under German law, with the intent of distributing donation money among all interested F/LOSS Remote Desktop/Remote Application projects. If you're interested in participating, make sure you can be around on Friday, September 22. You need to bring a photo ID and some means of proving your residential address (e.g. a utility bill), if it is not listed on your ID.
As always, we are open to sponsorships, and three have already found their way to us.
We have again received a 450 EUR donation from Hetzner Online, which we will be using to sponsor the accommodation costs of a few participants, as well as BBQ ingredients, carpooling costs, …
Thanks to Hetzner for repeating this very generous offer for the second year in a row!
Another donation (not a new donation, actually, as we still have some money left from their last year's donation) came from the University of Washington - part of their money will be used to cover travel expenses and accommodation of our US-based core developer Mike 'Mike#2' DePaulo, if he can make it, with the remainder of the donation being used for paid code (and hopefully, documentation) improvements of X2Go.
And finally, CFD.direct, the sponsors of our cloud-based macOS build servers, have also agreed to sponsor this event with an additional 500 EUR.
Thinking of becoming a sponsor as well? Let us know! The more, the merrier! Of course, all sponsors will be named on our sponsorship wiki page, unless they wish to remain anonymous.
The following participants have been confirmed and have beds reserved for them:
The following participants have been confirmed, but have their own accommodation:
We're also expecting:
… but are still waiting for his official sign-up eMail.
Undecided:
… if you happen to know them, feel free to give them a friendly nudge in the right direction.
Who can't make it this year:
Folks, we miss you and hope to see you again in the future!
