X2Go: The 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. This year, we're back at http://www.linuxhotel.de (for conditions, see: https://www.linuxhotel.de/community.html / http://www.linuxhotel.de/community.en.html), Essen, Germany.
As usual, this will be a three-day event, and a “work and play” gathering; We'll have grid power, WiFi, hotel style rooms, youth hostel-like service, recreational facilities available, group entertainment available in the evening.
Currently in early planning phase.
Please visit this page regularly to keep track of all updates.
Important updates will also be posted on our X2Go-Project mailing list.
@HuWutze (Mirko Glotz) will be part of our Orga crew and will greet all arriving participants on Friday, starting at 12:00/noon. Also, he will be there until 18:00/6pm on Sunday, so the conference room will be available for anyone interested in staying that late. In addition to that, he will be our resident video recording/live streaming expert, most likely bringing his own equipment.
For those of you that are interested in signing up for accommodation, the following rules are part of the deal:

The original, German edition can be found here. Note that only the German edition is the legally binding one.
Guidelines for a good working relationship in the Linux Hotel
We want all our guests to remember the Linux Hotel as a friendly professional networking location. This includes ensuring that all guests treat each other in a respectful and kind way during their entire stay with us.
We hold these rules to be self-evident. And we have the impression that all our guests share this belief. By publishing these rules, we want to prepare ourselves for those situations where it is necessary to defend them.
