-**MottoReturn to Villa Vogelsang**+X2GoThe 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.

 +===== ORCA e.V. annual meeting =====
 +  * This is the annual meeting ("Jahreshauptversammlung") of ORCA e.V., a German public-benefit nonprofit association
 +  * ORCA
 +    * stands for Open Remote Computing Association
 +    * has been founded at X2Go: The Gathering 2017
 +    * includes members of several open remote computing projects, like Arctica and FreeRDP, not only X2Go
 +  * Donations to ORCA are tax-deductible in Germany (and maybe in other countries as well)
 +  * To remain recognized as a public-benefit nonprofit association by the tax authorities, certain rules have to be followed, one of them is that we need to have these meetings about once a year.  
 +  * As X2Go: The Gathering is an event where the majority of ORCA members tends to take part in, it makes sense to hold the required annual meeting as part of the X2Go: The Gathering event.  Also, as these events are open to the general public, doing so might attract potential new members.
 +  * The meeting is likely to take place on Sunday, as shown in the schedule above.  Current orca e.V. members will be invited to this event by individual e-mail.
 +  * The language of this event item is German.
 +
 +This event item has its own sub-agenda, currently expected to look like this (final version will be sent out by e-mail to all current orca e.V. members as part of their invitation):
 +
 +  - Bericht der Vorstände
 +  - Entlastung des Vorstandes (gesamt; im Verweigerungsfall einzeln)
 +  - Bericht des Kassenwarts
 +  - Entlastung des Kassenwarts
 +  - Abstimmung über Satzungsänderung
 +  - Neuwahl des Vorstandes
