Official German support forum:X2Go-Community.org

Mike Gabriel — 2013-03-27T10:27:24

Dear all,

this is to announce the site X2Go-Community.org as the official German  
support forum for X2Go.

X2Go-Community.org is mainly run by Tobias Luther and he will do his  
best to answer your (German) questions on X2Go there. Tobias is an  
active member of the Linux4Africa project, located in Leipzig, Germany.

Tobias and I (on behalf of the X2Go Developers) have worked out a  
workflow that will assure an exchange between the German(-only) forum  
users and our Englisch mailing list user community.


1.
If technical problems with X2Go occur that need reporting upstream to  
the X2Go bug tracker (in English), Tobias will support the forum users  
with it (and maybe even translate their bug reports to English).

2.
If issues occur that are beyond Tobias's scope, he will try to get  
support and help from the (Englisch speaking) international X2Go  
community and after that report back to the German forum users.

3.
Tobias has also offered helping to improve the documentation of X2Go.  
Originally, X2

X2Go Baikal (LTS) released

Mike Gabriel — 2013-03-26T21:54:18

Hi all,

the X2Go project is proud to announce its bundle release of X2Go  
components called

   X2Go Baikal (LTS)

X2Go Baikal is the fourth bundle release in the history of the X2Go project.

As many of you might have guessed, the acronym LTS stands for  
,,long-term support''.

The idea of a bundle release with long term support is to provide  
reliability for companies / freelancers / consultants / universities  
who deploy X2Go in productive environments.

For further information (e.g. support duration), visit the X2Go homepage/wiki:

Dear all,

this is to announce the relaunch of the X2Go Project's home page and  
wiki (for those who have not realized it, yet).

If you haven't taken a look at the X2Go Wiki for a while, do so now.

Also: for those who would like to contribute documentation. The X2Go  
Wiki is the right place to provide your support to the X2Go Project.

For those who would like to gain write access to the wiki, here [1] we  
describe the the sign-up procedure (it is a bit unconventional, but  
safes us a lot of bot registrations).

Note for distro packagers: Python X2Go based applications have the   
full range of functionality when used with Paramiko 1.8.0 and above.   
For people you rely on flawless IPv6 functionality, I recommend   
installing python-gevent 1.0b1 (or above).
