Dear $ALL,
In exactly one month, from December 11th to December 15th, we'll have
our annual X2Go meeting for users, admins and code contributors to X2Go
- once again, 100% virtual/online, so it's a "The Spread" and not a "The
Gathering" once more. We're hoping to see you there.
We'll post a link to a virtual meeting room in due time, and expect to
be streaming/recording the event to YouTube or a similar platform as well.
Starting time will likely be 20:00 CET, as last year, unless a
significant number of participants requests an earlier start time (say,
18:00 CET or 19:00 CET) - please let me know (off-list, see below for
contact details) if you'd like to request an earlier start time.
Sadly, in summer, where Covid numbers and weather conditions would have
allowed for a real-life meeting, we had a scheduling conflict. And as
the numbers are rising again, we cannot in good conscience host a
real-life international conference - especially as some of our members
have vulnerable household members or are vulnerable persons themselves.
The event page (still work in progress) can be found here:
<https://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/events:x2go-spread-2023>
Each evening has one, max. two time slots for a talk/presentation.
At the moment, three topics are confirmed:
- The usual "X2Go: State of the Union" opening speech
- A report looking back at our latest stable X2Go release, which brought
KDrive into the stable repository, and showing what still needs to be
done Re: KDrive.
- A report on how we used betterplace.org for collecting X2Go-related
donations in the last 18 months, and an open discussion on how we
could improve our usage of this platform.
I am also hoping for a certain volunteer to commit to a fourth
presentation regarding the latest changes and improvements in NX-Libs -
since Arctica/NX-Libs pushed out a new release as well (on which our
X2Go release is also based, obviously).
This means we will have at least one more open talk slot - possibly
more, if the two release reports for NX-Libs and X2Go only take 10-15
minutes each.
If nobody volunteers, I might fill that remaining slot with a quick demo
of how to netboot X2Go-TCE-Live via iPXE in EFI and legacy mode.
But I'm really hoping for more volunteers for talks/demos/presentations
- so if you would like to present something
X2Go/NX-Libs/Arctica-related, please let me know (again, off-list, see
below for contact details).
We also have the option to prerecord your talk, in case your schedule
doesn't allow for a live presentation and/or your internet connection is
too flaky. It would be nice if you're available for a live Q&A round
after your talk, though (via text-only chat or audio-only stream is fine).
Please note that this time, the orca e.V. annual meeting will take place
on the Sunday morning *before* the start of X2Go: The Spread 2023. All
orca e.V. members have already received their invitation.
To contact me, please do not hit "reply"/"reply to all"/"reply to list",
but rather, send a *new* E-Mail to <mailto:x2go-m...@baur-itcs.de>.
Kind Regards,
Stefan Baur
