Many words are basicly the same in Hebreww and English but are still pronounced slightly diffrently when speaking in each language so that they sound native. In many cases you hear non-native speakers getting the pronounciation slightly wrong. I personnaly refer to Haifux with a Ha always, I write it only in english, but if I had to write it in hebrew I would use a He not a Het. since you can not use a Het sound when speaking in english, and I disaprove of dual pronounciation I will use only a He. I also think this is a lousy subject to spend as many words on as we already have(but I'm good with wasting words). Since I for one wouldn't object if anyone else likes to use a Het. I would understand him just fine. The purpose of language is communication, as long as this is not harmed I am not going to strive to currect anyone.

Some people pronounce and write Haifux with HE, and other with > HET. i always called it haifux, because i thought about it in english (and because the name was originally conceived in english e-mails). if we were spanish, we'd use the spanish letter that sounds something between 'he' and 'het'. to make a proper translation to hebrew, indeed, we should use a 'het', since this is a weld of 'Haifa' and 'Linux', and in hebrew, Haifa is spelled with a 'het'. hmmm should we take a vote on this issue too? -- guy "Lucy - prepare the secret ballots!" -- Peppermint Patty, "Race for your life, Charlie Brown!"

Logos need to be versatile creatures. Since a logo can be displayed on different media (T-shirts, screens, letter-heads etc.) slightly different variations might be needed. Some designs optimized for B/W (letters), some for thousands of colors (screens), some with insane sizes (banners) and some with different levels of descriptiveness (texts inside / under / over). Having a number of separate versions of the same logo ready for action is always a good idea. > BTW, it seems like we can only make up our minds about the English > spelling.

[Haifux] The Haifux logo
Hello all, I don't want to start another voting, and we all know who the winner is (and I'm happy with that one). But I think that the text on the logo is somewhat redundant when it appears in the site. On a T-shirt it's in place, but for the site I think that a clean Tux with Haifa's coast will be much nicer. Not really important, but it always catches my eyes. Any objections?
