X2Go: The Gathering 2019 (2019-09-27 to 2019-09-29) will take place at Linuxhotel, Essen, Germany
Dear $ALL,
As stated in the subject line, X2Go: The Gathering 2019 will take place at Linuxhotel, Essen, Germany, from Friday afternoon, 2019-09-27, to Sunday afternoon/evening, 2019-09-29m and will, again, be a three-day "work and play" (coding, chatting, sightseeing, socializing).
X2Go: The Gathering is the annual event where users, admins, and developers (including the i18n volunteers) of X2Go meet face to face, to discuss current X2Go-related issues, fix open bugs, and have a good time getting to know each other. As there is some overlap between X2Go, Arctica, and orca e.V., you can expect to see members of those groups as well.
*ATTENTION!* If you want to join us *and* want to sleep in one of the hotel rooms at the Linuxhotel, we need the number of beds and nights you want to reserve, as well as *your full name* (as printed on your passport) and *your nationality* by *2019-08-19* *23:59:59* *CEST* (yes, that's 2019-08-19, *not* 2019-09-19)!!! Very important!!! After that date, we will be unable to reserve a room for you! First come, first serve! As single rooms are in short supply, please book your bed in a 2- or 3-bed room, unless you absolutely have to use a single room.
Please send your reservation request to X2Go-ML-1@baur-itcs.de with the text "The Gathering" somewhere in the subject and bug me publicly on the X2Go-Project list if you don't receive a confirmation by e-mail after a day or two.
Currently, the following core team members already have valid registrations and thus do not need to re-register:
- Baur, Stefan 'Stefan#1' (BAUR-ITCS)
- DePaulo, Michael Swinick 'Mike#2'
- Mike 'Mike#1' Gabriel (DAS-NETZWERKTEAM)
- Grabowski, Juri (LiHAS)
- Moldovan, Mihai 'ionic' (BAUR-ITCS)
- Sibiller, Ulrich
- Graesing, Heinz-M. 'h1.org'
- Shneyder, Oleksandr 'Alex' (phoca)
If for some reason or other you do *not* need a place to sleep at Linuxhotel, but *do* want to join us, please *still* let us know in advance that you're planning to visit. There's no such hard deadline as for the room reservations, but you will need to "check in" (and there will be an "Admission fee") for our gathering with the Linuxhotel staff, so please *do* let us know in advance.
We will be updating the Wiki page <http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/events:x2go-gathering-2019> as more information becomes available. Certain things, like our breakfast options, or having lunch/dinner served by Linuxhotel instead of having to order from a delivery service, can only be planned once we know the exact number of participants.
Since we're still in the early planning phase, we do not yet have any sponsors for the event (though we plan to approach the "usual suspects" from previous years), so if you know someone willing and able to co-sponsor the event, please let me know at <X2Go-ML-1@baur-itcs.de>. Whether they wish to send us some "swag" with their company branding, or pledge money that we can use to lower dining and lodging costs for our participants, their sponsorship is greatly appreciated.
Sincerely, Stefan Baur, "X2Go: The Gathering" event organizer

Hey everyone,
Here's a quick heads-up regarding changes to the X2Go: The Gathering 2019 wiki page:
The most important update is: If you want to stay at Linuxhotel, we need your feedback until 2019-08-12, not 2019-08-19, as initially announced. As this deadline still is almost two months in the future, we hope this doesn't inconvenience you too much.
We've also put a cost overview online; it is pretty much the same as last time we stayed at Linuxhotel. The main change is the pricing for the dinner option at Unperfekthaus on Saturday evening.
Please visit <http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/events:x2go-gathering-2019> for the complete list of changes.
Sincerely, Stefan Baur, "X2Go: The Gathering" event organizer
