Motto: Back to life, back to reality!

Location: 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 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.
Please visit this page regularly to keep track of all updates.
Important updates will also be posted on our X2Go-Project mailing list.
Everything else: Still TBD.

Warm meal/cold cuts on Saturday: We are planning with one warm meal on Saturday. Everybody interested in a warm lunch will head to Unperfekthaus - we have a reservation there for an all-you-can-eat buffet, softdrinks included, and free access to the exhibition - starting at 13:00 CEST. For dinner, you will have access to some cold cuts. If you would prefer a warm meal for dinner instead, and cold cuts for lunch, we will likely cook or host a BBQ at Linuxhotel (or, worst case, order Pizza again). We will charge the same amount for both options, so you can choose freely (though we need to know some time in advance).
