(as i've got a few yes-es already, i'm moving to the 2nd part of helping to set up a yom iyoon for linux enthusiasts).
based on gilad's plan of twisting hetz's original idea, we are planning to have a 'linux day' on some friday morning, 1-2 month from now (that is, sometime in july, most likely). The current plan include: 1. renting the small cinemateque hall (in Tel-Aviv) for about 3 hours on a friday morning. 2. having a public showing of the 'Revolution OS' movie (for those who didn't hear yet - its a documentary movie that tries to gather (via interviews) the story of the free software/open source "movement"). the movie is 85 minutes long. 3. carrying between 2-3 _technical_ lectures about various aspects of linux. currently, gilad suggested to give a lecture about using linux for embedded systems. we'll see what other lectures to present as things materialize - we promise to make them technical. this event has costs coming with it, and we intend to pay it from our own pockets. due to that, anyone that wishes to come would pay 50 NIS as their share of helping pay for the hall (2000-2500NIS) and the movie screening rights (~400$). if due to some miracle, there'll be enough people to cover all costs, the ammount of money per person will be reduced - but i don't expect to have so many people (over 80) there anyway. before we go and make the actual ordering of the movie, the hall and lectures preparation, we want to make sure there is enough demand. Thus, i would like everyone that rely intends to come to the event, to send me email (in private, to [EMAIL PROTECTED]) with your name (full name, so i'll be able to sort the list properly), and write that you want to come _with_ your 50 NIS bill (cash, we have no means to handle credit cards - we just collect the money on behalf of everyone, to pay for the expenses). when we get enough people on this list (20 people being the minimum), we'll make the formal preparations and ordering required. i hope we'll reach that number (or surpass it) in 1-2 weeks. if there are any questions which were _not_ refered to in this email, please write directly to me. if a question would seem to be of public interest, i'll write about it to the list. feel free to forward this letter to people who are not subscribed to linux-il (or haifux) - every 50 NIS bill is allowed to bring with it one human companion ;) (and don't get smart - its 50 NIS per person, not per two). ok. enough talking. waiting for your letters to pile up now ;) -- guy "For world domination - press 1, or dial 0, and please hold, for the creator." -- nob o. dy ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
