Last time around (January 2003, 8 years ago... has he been in Israel since?), he gave a speech in IBM Haifa Research Center's auditorium, and later we (several dozens of Israeli linux fans) also had an informal dinner with him, where he also gave a sort of informal speech. Wherever he visits this time, I hope that it will be possible to record and/or video his speech for posterity, and for the people who can't really come to Haifa/Jerusalem/wherever the speech ends up being given at. I understood that last time IBM intended to do that, but had some technical difficulties so at the end it didn't happen. I hope that this time, this will be a requirement from the venue (heck, it's not that difficult to record at least the audio!). Finally, I wonder if anybody has any guess why RMS is visiting Israel in July - is it a private visit, or some public event in Israel he's attending? I know there's a wikimedia conference planned in the beginning of August 2011 - maybe he's coming to that? :-) -- Nadav Har'El | Sunday, Jan 16 2011, 12 Shevat 5771 n...@math.technion.ac.il |----------------------------------------- Phone +972-523-790466, ICQ 13349191 |Microchips: what's left at the bottom of http://nadav.harel.org.il |the bag when it reaches you. _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
