Status: Date and Location (save for some last-minute Covid-19 related changes) confirmed.

Date: 2020-09-18 to 2020-09-20

Location: shackspace, Ulmer Straße 255, 70327 Stuttgart-Wangen, Germany (view on Google Maps)

Why not Linuxhotel: Due to Covid-19, we have limited the registration to participants from the DACH region. Carpooling for several hours in times of Covid-19 is a bad idea, plus it doesn't really make sense to ferry the team from southern Germany to Essen and back, when all participants are native to southern Germany and/or Austria/Switzerland.

Reaching shackspace:

• by car: Please do not park directly in front of the building - you WILL be towed and fined.
  • roads where you should be able to find a free parking spot are:
    • Viehwasen
    • Ulmer Straße
• by train/bus/subway/tram: nearest tram stop is “Im Degen, Stuttgart” (view on Google Maps) check for a suitable train/subway/tram connection on German Rail's web site

Current plan is to have a hybrid event:

• Presentations online on Friday evening
• “Hackathon”-like in-person meeting on Saturday, continuing into Sunday morning (roughly 4 people), with a live stream
• ORCA annual meeting on Sunday afternoon (official invitation to follow), with most of the members attending via live stream

Livestream can be found at: (Link TBA)

Open Coding/Bugsquashing, exact times TBD; Stefan will be in charge of the “airing out” breaks

• Date: 2020-09-20
• Time 10:00 CEST
• Location: Online/shackspace, Ulmer Straße 255, 70327 Stuttgart - Link to virtual meeting room will be posted HERE / Link zum virtuellen Konferenzraum wird HIER gepostet werden
• This is the annual meeting (“Jahreshauptversammlung”) of ORCA e.V.
• 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
• We are required 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.
• The meeting is likely to take place on Sunday. Current orca e.V. members will be invited to this event by individual e-mail.
• The language of this event item is German.

 * V = only via videochat

Note: October weekends should be avoided if possible; multiple issues (public holiday on first weekend, LinuxDay.AT on second weekend, general time constraints) with these.

Note for Stefan: Make sure shackspace has sufficient paper towels and disinfectant; also face masks if budget allows.
