[X2Go-Dev] RFC: Future coordination of events and contest participations

Hi List,

I'm posting this here as we don't have a list for organisational
matters (yet - maybe we should create one? Opinions, anyone?).

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>".

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.*


Kind Regards,
Stefan Baur
X2Go Lead Evangelist and Event Organizer
