====== X2Go: The Gathering 2024 ====== {{ :events:backtolife.jpg?nolink&400 |Motto: Back to life, back to reality!}} ** Motto: Back to life, back to reality! ** ** Date: 2024-06-28 to 2024-06-30 ** ** Location: [[https://goo.gl/maps/jEa519N4BVVSLvax8|Linuxhotel, Villa Vogelsang, Antonienallee 1, 45279 Essen-Horst, Germany]] ** 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. As usual, this was 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. The recording of Saturday's discussions can be found here: https://youtube.com/live/J6hY59JqsKk ===== List of Participants ===== ^Name^Function^Room type^Saturday warm meal^ |Stefan Baur| Master of Ceremonies/Timemeister| single room| dinner| |Mike Gabriel| XO of Ceremonies| prefers single room, would be ok with shared double room| dinner| |Juri Grabowski| regular participant| shared double room with Naira| lunch| |Naira Grabowski| regular participant| shared double room with Juri| lunch| |Mihai Moldovan| Timegeselle/Videomeister| single room| dinner| |Martti Pitkänen| regular participant| single room| doesn't care - so lunch| |Ulrich Sibiller| regular participant| single room| didn't make up his mind - so lunch| ===== Schedule ===== ** Dinner costs for Friday (Pizza delivery) will be sponsored by [[https://cfd.direct|{{:events:sponsor-cfd-direct-logo.png?nolink|CFD.direct}}]] (up to 300 EUR total) - Thanks a lot! ** === Friday Schedule === ^ Time slot ^ Topic ^ Speaker / Moderator ^ Comment ^ | 17:00h | Check-In starts/distribution of room keys | **Stefan** / **Linuxhotel Staff: Kathy** | Quick introduction to Linuxhotel's house rules | | 17:45h | quick vote regarding Saturday Dinner - Lentils & Spätzle, BBQ, delivery food (Pizza again?) | | | | 18:00h | order Pizza | | | | 18:30h | have fun eating Pizza, have a drink and get to know the other participants' X2Go-related work | | | | ~18:45h | Official Welcome | **Stefan ** | | | followed by ... | informal get-together/setup of equipment for the coming days | **Stefan**, **Mihai**, everyone else that has larger equipment | takes place in the conference room - room won't be available before 18:00h! | | 20:00h | Not-so-secret ;) Meeting between Mike and the staff | **Mike**, Linuxhotel staff | | ** Warm meal/cold cuts on Saturday: We had one warm meal on Saturday.

For dinner, we had cold cuts. Some of us preferred a warm meal for dinner instead, with cold cuts for lunch, so Stefan was granted access to the Linuxhotel kitchen to cook for those.** === Saturday Schedule === ^time slot ^ Topic ^ Speaker / Moderator ^ | 09:00h-10:00h | Breakfast || | 10:00h-10:10h | today's agenda | **Stefan** | | 10:10h-10:20h | X2Go's State of the Union Address | **Stefan** | | 10:20h-10:30h | ** 5+xmin ** break || | 10:30h-10:50h | Brainstorming/Discussion: How to deal with the wayland "threat"?

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://goo.gl/maps/wJWrv * 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. ===== Topics ===== * The usual "X2Go: State of the Union" talk * X2Go and Wayland/Waypipe -> investigate, provide rough sketch/outline * In addition to working on closing some bugs and migrating others to our Gitlab instance, we'll also take a look at https://apply.opentech.fund/foss-sustainability-fund/ : * Do we already qualify? * If not, what could we do to qualify in the future? * Do we qualify for other opentech fund offerings like https://apply.opentech.fund/security-lab/? * shell.segfault.net and X2Go -> try it out, document it * FAQ https://www.thc.org/segfault/faq #13 seems relevant * libssh doesn't support SetEnv in config * using secret@segfault.net returns a prompt where the secret can be entered manually, X2GoClient could try to parse this like a 2FA auth ... * Bugsquashing and Maintenance ===== orca e.V. außerordentliche Mitgliederversammlung (in German) - Sonntag, 30.06.2024, 10:00 CEST ===== * This is an additional general meeting ("außerordentliche Mitgliederversammlung") of orca e.V., a German public-benefit nonprofit association * This is **not** the regular, annual meeting that is required by law, but an additional one, due to certain circumstances requiring timely decision-making. * 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 e.V. are tax-deductible in Germany (and maybe in other countries as well) * The meeting will 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, as listed below.
