X2Go: The Gathering 2014 @ Linuxhotel
This year's X2Go community event will be a three-day "work and play" (coding, chatting, sightseeing, socializing) event at Linuxhotel, Essen, Germany.
*ATTENTION!* If you want to join us *and* want to sleep in one of the hotel rooms at the Linuxhotel, we need the number of beds and nights you want to reserve, as well as *your full name* (as printed on your passport) and *your nationality* by *2014-09-18* *23:59:59* *CEST* (yes, that's 2014-09-18, *not* 2014-10-18)!!! Very important!!! After that date, we will be unable to reserve a room for you! First come, first serve!
Please send your reservation request to X2Go-ML-1@baur-itcs.de with the text "The Gathering" somewhere in the subject and bug me publicly on the X2Go-Dev list if you don't receive a confirmation by e-mail after a day or two.
Currently, the following core team members already have valid registrations and thus do not need to re-register:
- Mike#1
- Mike#2
- Stefan Baur
- Heinz-M. Graesing (Sat/Sun only, so far) (@Heinz-M. Graesing: Please let me know ASAP regarding Fri/Sat.)
If for some reason or other you do *not* need a place to sleep at Linuxhotel, but *do* want to join us, please *still* let us know in advance that you're planning to visit. There's no such hard deadline as for the room reservations, but you will need to "check in" (see "Admission fee" below) for our gathering with the Linuxhotel staff, so please *do* let us know in advance.
*Costs for Linuxhotel hotel rooms* Rooms are available at 15 EUR/night (and since we're a two-night-, three-day event, expect to pay 30 EUR total for the room). Note that this is the price for a *shared* room, i.e. you will have at least one other person (in some rooms, even two) sleeping in the same room with you.
If you want a *single room*, the *price doubles* and we need to know *ASAP*, as the amount of single rooms at Linuxhotel is *very* limited - only 3 rooms available!
It is also possible to book only one of the two nights if you can't make it for the entire weekend, but don't want to miss out on all the fun.
*Admission fee* 5 EUR/day, again, since we're a three-day event, expect to 15 EUR total. This is a per-person conference room/infrastructure rent and beverages flat rate - *this includes beer and wine*! Food is not included in this fee. Expect that there will be no lunch/dinner served by Linuxhotel, thus it's totally cool with the Linuxhotel management if you bring your own (if you're flying in from abroad, please check import restrictions) or order from a delivery service.
*Payment* You will have to pay in cash *upon arriving at Linuxhotel*. Sorry, we can't accept credit cards, debit cards, wire transfers, bitcoins or other forms of payment for this event - *cash only*. Also, all payments must be made in *Euro, not in foreign currencies*. Sorry about that, too. The processing fees for non-cash and/or non-Euro payments would drive up the prices.
We will be updating the Wiki page http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/events:start?gothe_gathering_2014_linuxhotel as more information becomes available. Certain things, like our breakfast options, or having lunch/dinner served by Linuxhotel instead of having to order from a delivery service (as it stands now), can only be planned once we know the exact number of participants.
*For now, here's the Wiki text*
