[Haifux] Re: [HAIFUX LECTURE] The Ben-Yehuda Project by Asaf Bartov

[Lior Kaplan]

Hi,

As I'm not a member of Haifux (sorry, I don't live in the area). And I
always get these announcements.

I have a problem with that, and the real issue is they come too close to
the lecture date (e.g. tomorrow). This doesn't give me any space for
arranging a visit to Haifa to hear the lecture.

Could you please try to inform people outside of Haifux in advance? (:

Thanks

I don't think people will need our help to enter themselves to free
software on Windows, while they do need our help to get around in
Linux.

Giving them recommendations on free software for windows is something
we can do on our website, and don't need actual lectures.

Re: [Haifux] Public Domain Day event - January 5th, HaifaU

[Lior Kaplan]

Hi Orna,

I have to rollups, and might be able to bring one (I'm coming with public
transportation and need to check I could carry this all the way).

Presenting 0AD will be nice since it has CC licensed graphics.

See you Wednesday.

[Haifux] videos

[Lior Kaplan]

Hi Guys,

Hamakor have recently opened a youtube video channel, and I thought this
might be a good way to upload and publicize the lectures done in Haifux
(there's no length limitation ,opposed to private accounts). We've started
to do the same for the lecture from August Penguin.

Thanks,

Kaplan
