Dear Heinz, Alex, Mike and Moritz,
Dear List,

the actual  message I want to leave here is short -
but I think I have to give some explanations first so that my message doesn`t irritate anyone here (probably a rather female way of saying something, we like to explain things lengthy ;-)).

The professional background of writing this mail is, that mike and I are working together at a project in which we are setting up (educational) IT-Systems at schools in Kiel. We want to use X2Go for this project and thats why I started reading this list a couple of weeks ago; its also the reason why I am very interested in having X2Go work well. I have no technical IT-backgound, my contribution to and role in our project is to set up and implement a well-performing structure for all the communication that is needed (leading seminars, coaching, mediation, moderation of meetings etc.).

The private background is that I am in relationship with mike - that was first, the working together started only a few months ago.

One reason why I really enjoy working in an IT-context using Open Source Software is because I am deeply moved and inspired by the social, political and collaborative context in which every step of development is taking place.

Thats my context in which I am reading this mailing-list.

Now I have just read Mikes last mail and the only thing I want to contribute is:

YOU GUYS MUST TALK!

The guys I mean with that are Moritz, Alex, Heinz and Mike.
As far as I can see the four of you are all giving your best to do a very good job - but you might generate heavy misunderstandings and lots of extra work if your communication at this point of the developing process is taking place "only" via mail and programming.

There are very cheap telephone numbers which you can use for conference calls, I could give some of that numbers to Mike. I think it would not take much time to have a conversation on the phone, but it could take a lot of time if you dont talk alltogether about the next steps necessary to take.

I am convinced that it would take a lot of stress out of the process, that it would move forward the whole project and that it would bring the freedom back into the space of the mailing list.

And, very important: NOTHING IS WRONG - its all development ;-).

Angela

Hi Moritz,

Hi Heinz,

don't put too much work into it. We already started at https://code.launchpad.net/~siretart/+archive/x2go and it's probably not worth doing it twice. Basically the code is imported from our git-repo ( http://i4git.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/ ) and then built on launchpad. x2goagent gave us some trouble, but we hope it will build tonight. The x2go clients are next on our todo-list. That way we should have a minimal system up and running soon. At the moment we are only building for lenny as this is the plattform we test on. Once everything is running there must be a transition from this "private" environment to a more open one, of course. But we want to be able to walk, before we start running. :)

Cheers
Morty

as I understand your current way of handling things you are actually forking X2go for a university internal project. I am completely fine with a fork, but the please:

 (a) state it officially as a fork
 (b) name the project differently

My main point is that you do not at all cooperate, discuss next steps etc. You are just doing your thing. But maybe I missed part of the discussion (private correspondence?)...

Complete disapproval of your communication methods,
Mike
