Dear $ALL,
This is just a quick reminder that there will be another X2Go and orca e.V. sponsorship drive tomorrow, starting at 09:00 CET.
We are still in need of almost 300 EUR to cover this year's hosting costs, and we're a good 2 100 EUR short in the "events" category, covering costs relating having handouts/posters printed for our booths, and travel/accommodation costs for our volunteers.
Non-recurring donations up to 100 Euro made on Friday, 2024-12-06 (starting 09:00 CET and ending 23:59 CET) will be matched 100% by the Commercial and Savings Bank Ulm. This offer is only valid until a funding pool of 10 000 Euro is depleted. So the earlier you donate (past 09:00 CET) on this particular day, the higher the chance that your donation will receive the bonus.
The donation links can be found right at the very top of the X2Go Wiki: <https://wiki.x2go.org/>
To donate towards X2Go's events (posters, handouts, travel, lodging, …), please use one of these:
- English-language donation form: <https://www.betterplace.org/en/projects/131360?wirwunder=235>
- German-language donation form: <https://www.betterplace.org/de/projects/131360?wirwunder=235>
To donate towards X2Go's infrastructure (hosting costs and the like), please use one of these:
- English-language donation form: <https://www.betterplace.org/en/projects/131358?wirwunder=235>
- German-language donation form: <https://www.betterplace.org/de/projects/131358?wirwunder=235>
If times are rough for you and you can't afford to donate, don't feel bad! You can also help us by forwarding this announcement to whomever you seem fit - e.g. your local Linux user group, your social media followers, etc.
Another way to help us is to be vocal about what you need X2Go for and how it would hurt you if it would no longer be available - we're trying to apply for public funding, so if you're using X2Go in the public sector (i.e. education, research, health care, energy, industry), please do let us know how X2Go ceasing to exist would affect you.
Kind Regards, Stefan Baur, first chairman of the board, Open Remote Computing Association - orca e.V.
