[X2Go-Project] About X2Go Contribution

[Orkun BALCI]

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
