-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dear Mike#1, we really thank you for your contributions, ideas and your help in the last 4 years. Thank you for taking the lead and assuming command when and where leadership was needed especially when the project was lacking it. Our Project is of course more than just the sum of all parts, but first and foremost, it *is* the sum of its parts. And you have been a significant part from the very moment you joined. We are obviously saddened by your decision to retire from most of the key positions you held. At least it did not come as a surprise to us, and we've had a chance to prepare. Also, we are happy about your decision that you will remain active in the project, so we will have a chance to tap into your knowledge and experience, whenever the need should arise. Thank you for contributing your projects and of course thank you for lending us your communication skills! It was a milestone for X2Go to get X2Goclient inside Debian! Pyhoca is offering a second way of usability and now people have a choice about the client. There are so many tasks we should be thankful of (jenkins, nightlies, git-administration, to be continued -> I believe you won't stop) and we really are! It would be a great honor for us to have you as host on our Gathering 2014 in Essen, please visit us 2015 in Treuchtlingen! Best Regards, Heinz-M.

before some students copy from Wikipedia...
by Mike Gabriel 13 Jan '15

13 Jan '15

Hi all, at German schools there is a great debate that high school / grammar school students don't write their own essays but repetitively copy from Wikipedia... Some schools block Wikipedia out of that reason. Before some pure student copies this [1] article, can any of the native English speakers having experience with X2Go, please get things right at en.Wikipedia? Main flaws... o X2Go is _NOT_AT_ALL_ an implementation of the NX remote desktop protocol, it is a protocol of its own!!! It uses the NX-X11 Xserver, that's all. o X2Go can be used to access desktops on a PC, BUT ITS MAIN USE CASE is providing standalone remote sessions (with no physical desktop attached) o X2Go has not been adopted by Fedora, it has been packaged for Fedora... Mike (who hopes there is a wholehearted person out there that knows how to and wants to play with Wikipedia...) [1] Oh my god (or whatever entity people worship to)... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X2Go -- DAS-NETZWERKTEAM mike gabriel, herweg 7, 24357 fleckeby fon: +49 (1520) 1976 148 GnuPG Key ID 0x25771B31 mail: mike.gabriel(a)das-netzwerkteam.de, http://das-netzwerkteam.de freeBusy: https://mail.das-netzwerkteam.de/freebusy/m.gabriel%40das-netzwerkteam.de.x…

Hi all, I have subscribed our new ML x2go-project at GMANE. Can someone please volunteer to update the wiki [1,2]? Thanks! I also have the impression, that GMANE's RSS feed is not update regarding our mailing list (see [2]).

Shifting my focus in X2Go
by Mike Gabriel 10 Jan '15

10 Jan '15

Dear X2Go Community, dear friends, as many of you may know, I have been contributing a considerable amount of time to upstream-maintaining X2Go over the past 4 years. I provided new X2Go components (Python X2Go, PyHoca X2Go Client, a publicly available X2Go Session Broker, X2Go MATE Bindings, etc.) and focused on making X2Go a wide-spread community project. For the last 2-3 years I have been in the role of the X2Go project coordinator and various other roles. With the beginning of 2015, I will pass on several of those roles to other people in the project, see the below list for already assigned and unassigned roles: o project/community coordinator (continued by Stefan Baur) o development coordination (continued by Heinz-Markus Graesing, very probably introducing some sort of agile development) o release management (n.n.) o i18n team leader (n.n.) o package maintenance (continued by Oleksandr Shneyder) o Git administrator (continued by Mihai Moldovan) o bug tracker administrator (continued by Michael DePaulo) The reasons for tremendously reducing my workload on X2Go are these: o more time for development, less involvement in organizational tasks o more time for paid/contracted work (also in the X2Go context) o spend some of my time on doing Remote Desktop Computing research o be more available to Debian and Ubuntu as a package maintainer o be more available to my family In several internal exchanges we (Heinz, Stefan, Mihai, Mike#2, Oleksandr) have discussed several development workflow changes that are likely to be introduced soon within the X2Go project. I leave it to Stefan and Heinz to introduce these ideas publicly via our new mailing list x2go-project(a)lists.x2go.org [1] So that everyone who is interested can get further involved, please make sure you get subscribed to the new x2go-project ML [1] and join the related discussions there. If you are interested, subscribe to this list now. If any of the not-yet-assigned tasks calls your heart, please contact us via the x2go-project ML. Within the last years, we gathered a considerable amount of very genuine people around the X2Go project. People with high social and technical skills, time for contribution and a clear disposition to make X2Go the best terminal server solution on Linux/*nix available, while maintaining it as FLOSS software in all respects. I highly appreciate what we all have achieved during the last years and am thankful for all discussions, experiences and friendships made. Thanks to everyone who helped us coming this far. Thanks to everyone stepping up and taking over more reponsibility within the project. I will continue working on the following X2Go topics in the future: - X2Go Session Broker (component owner) - Python X2Go / PyHoca-GUI+CLI (component owner) - NX (aka nx-libs, component owner) - Debian/Ubuntu packaging of X2Go (downstream/distro activity) For an interim phase (about 2-3 months), I will continue working on my previous tasks. This is to give time to people for arriving in their new roles, so that everyone can gradually take over and feel comfortable. Of course, I will be available for all sorts of questions and advice in the future, if needed. Apart from the interim phase above, I currently have these open X2Go tasks, which I will finish as soon as possible (hopefully at the end of Jan 2015): - do a release cycle of all X2Go components - fix X2Go Desktop Sharing (cross-user, same user, nearly fixed) light+love Mike Gabriel [1] http://lists.x2go.org/listinfo/x2go-project -- DAS-NETZWERKTEAM mike gabriel, herweg 7, 24357 fleckeby fon: +49 (1520) 1976 148 GnuPG Key ID 0x25771B31 mail: mike.gabriel(a)das-netzwerkteam.de, http://das-netzwerkteam.de freeBusy: https://mail.das-netzwerkteam.de/freebusy/m.gabriel%40das-netzwerkteam.de.x…
