Hello List, Alon Altman brought up the lack of material / people to lecture at the last meeting (DV).
I have a strange feeling that the club is fading away. Less and less lectures are given, the last W2L series was held last two years ago.... I think we (the HAIFUX) have a lot of potential and we are not making the most of it. A similar thing happened to the Jerusalem club, and I took it upon me to revive it before moving to Haifa almost four years ago... I realize people are busy. I am too. I have an 8 to 5 job and two small kids at home. I think it is essential for us to keep the club alive and kicking. One idea I had: find a way to publish a monthly short newsletter (at least around the Technion and Haifa U, for starters) regarding GNU/Linux and what's going on in Israel. It could be as simple as excerpts from Linmagazine, Whatsup and IGLU and maybe a rundown of what went on the various Israeli LUGs during that month... This will spread the word and bring more people to GNU/Linux and the LUGs. On that note, I am prepared to give a flash-lecture regarding the Nokia 770 Internet Tablet. I would like to show device itself, possible applications and explore the possibility to add Hebrew support... Cheers! -- .:====================================================:.
