Dear $ALL,
As you probably know from the Wiki and from previous announcements on
the lists, X2Go: The Gathering 2017 took place last weekend.
One of the things decided/agreed on at this event was that we should
have Developer Meetings more regularly.
The plan is to aim for one DevMeeting per quarter, though obviously
additional ones can be set up if the need arises.
The next DevMeeting is scheduled for tomorrow, 2017-09-28, 20:30 CEST /
02:30 EDT.
We will gather in #x2go on irc.freenode.net and discuss the required
X2GoServer code updates in preparation of the upcoming release, which we
intend to finish by early December 2017.
Future DevMeetings may take a "hybrid" form, with some people gathering
in a hackerspace (or hackerspaces), and others joining in via IRC.
Kind Regards,
Stefan Baur
X2Go Project/Community Manager

Dear all
I have recently exchanged the previous SSL certificates that were signed with a
DAS-NETZWERKTEAM CA certificate for with new certificates signed by Let's Encrypt.
Additionally, all HTTP requests, with the limitation of accessing Jenkins
directly, should be getting automatically redirected to a HTTPS location.
This measure fixes the annoying "insecure connection" errors.
Of course, previous HTTPS connections were never truly insecure - the CA
certificate just was not trusted by browsers.
If you encounter trouble accessing Japsand-based services like the wiki, please
file a bug report with X2Go BTS[1].

Dear all
I am happy to announce that from now on the X2Go package archive that provides
Raspbian packages of X2Go[1] also offers X2Go packages that have been built
against Raspbian Stretch - the new Raspbian release version.
Additionally, the pseudo code names have been reset. "stable" now maps to
"stretch" and "oldstable" maps to "jessie". Users are strongly encouraged to use
the actual code names (i.e., not the pseudo code names) in order to not trigger
unwanted upgrades and to avoid incompatibilities, since pseudo code name changes
are typically not carried out in tandem with Debian.
We hope this makes our package archive more useful.
If you encounter dependency problems when installing X2Go release or
nightly packages under Raspbian Stretch, please file a bug report with X2Go BTS[3].
For setup information, refer to the Debian packages info wiki article[3].

Dear all
I am happy to announce that from now on the X2Go package archive that provides
Debian packages of X2Go[1] also offers X2Go packages that have been built
against Debian Buster - the new Debian testing version.
Additionally, the pseudo code names have been reset. "stable" now maps to
"stretch", "oldstable" maps to "jessie", "oldoldstable" maps to "wheezy" and
"testing" maps to "buster". Users are strongly encouraged to use the actual code
names (i.e., not the pseudo code names) in order to not trigger unwanted
upgrades and to avoid incompatibilities, since pseudo code name changes are
typically not carried out in tandem with Debian.
We hope this makes our package archive more useful.
If you encounter dependency problems when installing X2Go release or
nightly packages under Debian Buster, please file a bug report with X2Go BTS[3].

Dear all
I am happy to announce that from now on the X2Go package archive that provides
OpenSUSE packages of X2Go[1] also offers X2Go packages that have been built
against OpenSUSE Leap 42.3 - the new OpenSUSE Leap release version.
We hope this makes our package archive more useful.
If you encounter dependency problems when installing X2Go release or
nightly packages under OpenSUSE Leap 42.3, please file a bug report with X2Go
BTS[3].
For setup information, refer to the SUSE-based packages info wiki article[3].

Dear all
a few weeks ago I took the opportunity and updated our build host to Debian Stretch.
Build failures of *SUSE packages due to a newer version of obs-build were fixed
subsequently. We're now running a customized version with backported fixes and
commits from the upstream obs-build repository pulled in.
The environment powering wiki.x2go.org has also been updated.
All systems should be working normally.
As always, if you encounter broken packages or inconsistencies in repositories,
please file a bug report with X2Go BTS[1].

Hi all,
due to moval of the (virtual) machine ymir.das-netzwerkteam.de
(hosting {packages,git,bugs,lists,...}.x2go.org) there will be a
service downtime tomorrow afternoon (CEST).
The downtime period will start around 2pm CEST. Services will be
brought back to life ASAP. However, the migration includes a change of
IP address, so DNS updates might take a little longer to propagate to
your systems.
Greets,
Mike

X2Go: The Gathering 2017 will be taking place in TREUCHTLINGEN, Germany,
the "birthplace" of X2Go, from 2017-09-22 to 2017-09-24!
Registration is now open for:
- daytime-only visitors
(we need you to register with us, even if you don't intend to stay
over night, so the hotel knows how many people attend the conference)
- accommodation
- talk/workshop proposals
For those of you signing up for accommodation, the following rules are
part of the deal:
1) If you become sick, then please stay at home. Let us know ASAP so we
can cancel your reservation/reassign your room.
2) If you've had recent contact with someone that has some contagious
disease, and you are not 100% sure that you're immune - please, stay at
home as well, and let us know ASAP so we can cancel your
reservation/reassign your room.
3) If you know that someone has a contagious disease, and you've signed
up for our event, please do not seek physical contact with that person
before the event. If you have anything that needs to be discussed
because you need it for the event, use e-mail, phone calls, whatever,
but don't visit each other, the reason being rule #2.
4) Reservations cancelled less than 10 days before the event may mean we
still have to charge you, if we cannot fill your spot with someone else.
Of course, we will do our best to avoid this.
Sign-Up Deadline: 2017-09-08
Cost-Free Cancellation Deadline: 2017-09-12
Please sign up ASAP if you intend to attend - we only have a limited
amount of beds reserved in advance - first come, first serve. If we're
exceeding that number, we run the risk of being unable to accommodate
you. Currently available: 7 out of 10 single rooms, 1 out of 1 double room.
To register, or to submit a talk/workshop proposal, simply reply to this
E-Mail.
There will also be a carpool to Treuchtlingen running via Karlsruhe,
Stuttgart, Ulm, and possibly Augsburg, should the need arise.
Please contact Mihai (ionic(a)ionic.de) if you're interested in joining
the carpool as a passenger.
