Dear Mike,

Thank you for your response.

Me, my friends and colleagues are looking forward to develop a terminal server / remote desktop solution with added features like application virtualization, gpu virtualization and some more. If Arctica project and X2go project are working together to perform a great remote desktop and terminal project system, we can contribute to both of them. I assume Arctica project is again open source like X2go project. We want to contribute to a terminal server project rather than developing a new one from scratch. I like having Skype like video conferences. We can talk further details on email, phone call or conference or video conference. I want to catch the team on IRC this Thursday to talk with.

Best Regards, Orkun

Dear Sirs and Madams,

I am The Release, Repository and Package Manager of Pardus National Operating System Distribution (http://www.pardus.org.tr) and we are developing our own continous integration and build system. Pardus is mainly a Debian distribution but we are maintaining packages from sources, and from other Linux based operating systems like RedHat. Our core development group has a wide range of experiences like UNIX System Administration of Cloud Computing (see http://www.truba.gov.tr/eng/), UNIX System Administration of Grid Computing (see http://www.grid.org.tr/eng/), Embedded Systems and Our National wide educational IT project named FATİH (see http://fatihprojesi.meb.gov.tr/tr/english.php), Remote Mass Machine Management (see http://liderahenk.org/ and https://www.pardus.org.tr/web/projeler/lider-ahenk), and Identity Management System (see https://www.pardus.org.tr/web/projeler/engerek).

We are using X2Go Project on our Terminal Server Systems, and we want to spread it all over countrywide. I am the lead developer of terminal server project. Now, we want to contribute to upstream, we want some new features and we need a fully working X2Go server + session broker + LDAP system with extra new features. We have a feature list of what we want to do and what we will want to do. We want to work in collaboration and build X2Go packages from the sources in X2Go git repositories. Moreover, we heavily interested in contributing and developing X2Go core codes and integrate directly into development. Upto now, we are making workarounds for X2Go project and we are using them in our systems but it is now not enough and we need to develop more on core components and core project. Now, I want to be the man directly contacting with you and one of the official open source developers of X2Go project.

We are waiting for your response.

Best Regards, Orkun BALCI

Thanks a lot for your interest in X2Go.

For ease of communication, please subscribe to the project's mailing lists [0].

For organizational matters, please use the x2go-project mailing list.

For developmental / technical matters, please use the x2go-dev mailing list.

All people that you explicitly had in the To: or Cc: field(s) for your mail are also subscribed to the above referenced mailing lists.

Stefan Baur and/or Heinz-M. Graesing will get back to you on the core X2Go code and comment on most of your suggestions/questions.

As I am currently setting up a new remote desktop computing project (The Arctica Project [1]), I am not much available for X2Go hacking anymore, but I am still maintainer of five components in X2Go:

o X2Go Session Broker o nx-libs (graphical backend behind X2Go) o Python X2Go o PyHoca-GUI o PyHoca-CLI

If you encounter any issues with any of those X2Go-specific components, please report them via the X2Go bug tracker. I will do my best to process such issue reports in a considerable amount of time.

If you encounter any issues with nx-libs, I'd recommend reporting issues via the Arctica Project's organization account on Github [2]. The active development of nx-libs has moved from the X2Go Git site to Github. The nx-libs development is a joint effort of three projects: Arctica Project, TheQVD, X2Go.

I am sad to say that I do not have much focus anymore on continuing heavy feature development around the X2Go Session Broker (mainly, because we will rewrite broker functionality from scratch in the Arctica Project). I can and will do feature development on a contracted basis, but I will not do development during my spare time anymore (as I did earlier). So, if you are interested in the X2Go Session Broker component for Pardus, you may want to consider offering help with its maintenance to the other X2Go upstream devs).

Also, you may be interested in joining the next X2Go Developers' meeting on IRC this Thursday [3]. Consider this as an invitation.

light+love, Mike

Hello Heinz,

Thank you for your response.

It is a pleasure for me to join online meeting tomorrow. I think it is on IRC and I will be on irc.freenode.net in channel #x2go.

I like telling the details about the features we need and what can I do for X2Go project. Additionally, if we have enough time to talk, I like to give a summary about what we have done with X2Go, the development and business stages in my country.

Best Regards, Orkun
