For those of you that signed up for accommodation, the following rules are part of the deal:

1. If you become sick, then please stay at home. Let us know ASAP so we can cancel your reservation/reassign your room.
2. If you've had recent contact with someone that has some contagious disease, and you are not 100% sure that you're immune - please, stay at home as well, and let us know ASAP so we can cancel your reservation/reassign your room.
3. If you know that someone has a contagious disease, and you've signed up for our event, please do not seek physical contact with that person before the event. If you have anything that needs to be discussed because you need it for the event, use e-mail, phone calls, whatever, but don't visit each other, the reason being rule #2.
4. Reservations cancelled less than 10 days before the event may mean we still have to charge you, if we cannot fill your spot with someone else. Of course, we will do our best to avoid this.
5. If you have any dietary requirements (vegetarian, vegan, no pork, no alcohol, …), please let us know when you sign up so we can prepare everything in advance. Same goes for any food allergies or other medical conditions that we should know of.

We're past the registration deadline for hotel beds. If you still want to sign up, you can give it a try by E-Mailing X2Go-ML-1@baur-itcs.de and we'll se what we can do, but we can't promise anything. If you have your own accomodation, it's easier to shoehorn you in on short notice, but you still need to register with us via X2Go-ML-1@baur-itcs.de.

Note that we're planning to found a “eingetragener Verein”, a non-profit legal entity under German law, with the intent of distributing donation money among all interested F/LOSS Remote Desktop/Remote Application projects. If you're interested in participating, make sure you can be around on Friday, September 22. You need to bring a photo ID and some means of proving your residential address (e.g. a utility bill), if it is not listed on your ID.

For those of you arriving earlier or staying longer than the duration of the event, the following entertainment options might be of interest to you:

• Spa
• Model Railroad

• Stefan needs to bring:
  • Two plungers (don't ask …)
  • Two or more keyboards with built-in card readers

As always, we are open to sponsorships, and four have already found their way to us.

We have again received a 450 EUR donation from Hetzner Online. Hetzner's donation will be used to pay for the medieval-themed tour through Treuchtlingen, as well as for several participants' food.

Thanks to Hetzner for repeating this very generous offer for the third year in a row!

University of Washington

Another donation (not a new donation, actually, as we still have some money left from their last year's donation) came from the University of Washington - part of their money will be used to cover travel expenses and accommodation of our US-based core developer Mike 'Mike#2' DePaulo, if he can make it, with the remainder of the donation being used for paid code (and hopefully, documentation) improvements of X2Go.

Yet another donation comes from CFD.direct, the sponsors of our cloud-based macOS build servers - they have also agreed to sponsor this event with an additional 500 EUR. Their donation will be used for the accommodation costs of a few participants, as well as carpooling costs, and also for several participants' food.

Last, but not least, Thomas Krenn has decided to send us a pack of giveaways for our participants, consisting of ballpoint pens, cups, webcam covers, post-its, and reusable smartphone display wipes.

Thinking of becoming a sponsor as well? Let us know! The more, the merrier! Of course, all sponsors will be named on our sponsorship wiki page, unless they wish to remain anonymous.
