Stuttgart's Linux User Group had a booth at the Hobby & Elektronik fair and presented X2Go-TCE and the Electronic Glovebox, amongst other things. (Hover over the pictures for an explanation of what you see …)

Note that this talk was in German.

Title: X2Go - an OSS Remote Desktop and how it is used in companies

Various users and contributors to the project talked about and/or demoed their individual use cases. The X2Go team was represented by Heinz-M. Graesing (h1), as well as Mihai Moldovan (ionic) and Stefan Baur.

According to a local newspaper report (German), there were roughly 260 attendees to the event, out of which about 50 decided to listen to our talk.

A raw video of the talk is now available here. Thanks to Juri Grabowski for the recording and to Mihai (ionic) for the postprocessing.

Oleksandr 'Alex' Shneyder, Mihai Moldovan, and Stefan Baur represented the X2Go team at IBM's “Increase your business performance with Linux on Power (German)” event at IBM Ehningen, Germany. See http://www-304.ibm.com/events/idr/idrevents/register.action?meid=19136&ieid=12189 for details.

Thanks to German Rail retiring (in Blade Runner style) the heritage railbusses from service, there will be no X2GoHackTrain in 2014. :'( Had they been available, a combination of train ride, BBQ at a lake side, and an optional short hike would have been planned.

Replacement Event: X2Go: The Gathering 2014 @ Linuxhotel (see above)

Our two Mikes (Gabriel|DePaulo) were interviewed about X2Go by the famous Randal L. Schwartz (merlyn) and equally famous Randi Harper (freebsdgirl) on the FLOSS Weekly Netcast: http://twit.tv/floss295
