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…

I'm also willing to listen to suggestions by other people and incorporate them, if that makes sense. I'm still somewhat puzzled by the restrictions you currently set up for the git repositories and can't make sense out of them (at least only to a very limited degree), but maybe there's a good explanation for them. > I will be happy to support you in the first weeks or months with > feedback etc. if needed. Thanks, that would be HIGHLY appreciated!

Opinions, anyone?). This has been on my todo list for too long anyway: http://lists.x2go.org/listinfo/x2go-project Please announce that list on x2go-announcements, would you? > Recently, there have been two occasions where people related to X2Go > have signed up/applied in X2Go's name, without letting the others know > about it. > Since in most cases, it doesn't make sense to apply twice, this means > some people have spent time working on an application that had to be > scrapped, so as not to collide with the earlier one written by an > individual. > > I don't want to point any fingers in public or name names - those > responsible have already hung their heads in shame off-list - however, > I would kindly ask *everyone* that knows about contests where X2Go > could take part, fairs where we could get a free booth, etc. to post > such info on this list (at least until we have a separate list > dedicated to that purpose), and tag it "RFP: <YYYY-MM-DD> <Eventname>". No, post such stuff on x2go-project(a)lists.x2go.org (NEW). The x2go-dev list should not be bothered with project organization. Neither should we expect, people being interested in organizational stuff and events, digging around in all the BTS messages and development postings. > That way, we can coordinate our efforts in public and aren't wasting > time and end up working against each other and to the disadvantage of > the project (two independent applications look unprofessional, IMO). > Spending one and a half days on an application that ends up scrapped > really sucks, especially if the time dedicated to it could have been > spent earning money. > > *Everybody, please help us avoid this in the future by going public > with your info _before_ you apply in X2Go's name.* +1 from me on the above. We need to put a highlighted page onto the wiki explaining the above procedure (including modifications that come in with more feedback to your post, Stefan).
