Nope. The real problems are human element  problems - announcing events
too late, if they are annouced at all. I know for fact that there are
booked lectures at BIU at least untill November - one lecture every two
weeks, on friday.

In one case the formal announcement on Linux-il and iglu were two days
before the lecture, too late- so it was canceled.
