I should point out that the document is somewhat out of date, as we are
quickly approaching a keyboard layout that:

1. Will be standard
and
2. Will have all of the keys that lyx has.

Having said that, it will not have LRE/RLE/PDF (nor LRO and RLO, for
that matter). This is not an accidental omission. These keys change the
appearance of the paragraph they are typed into so violently that even
people very versed in the UBA tend to lose the spot the corresponding
PDF should go.

[HAIFUX LECTURE] 0 A.D. Revisited - Aviv Sharon

2011-08-13 Thread Eli Billauer 
On Monday, August 15th at 18:30, Haifux will gather to hear a talk by 
Aviv Sharon:



  0 A.D. Revisited

  (And Perhaps a Few Words About Wikimania 2011)


Abstract


0 A.D. is a FOSS game of ancient warfare, belonging to a genre of games 
called Real-Time Strategy (RTS). It is mostly implemented in C++, along 
with scripts in JavaScript, and runs on Windows, Linux and Mac OS. The 
game was last presented at Haifux in December 2009 and has developed 
tremendously since then, with advances in graphics, A* pathfinding, 
opponent AI and more. Aviv will demonstrate some of the new features of 
the game of particular interest to Comp Sci people and explain how he 
manages the PR and social media aspect of a volunteer FOSS project. 
Probable bonus: Pictures and experiences from Wikimania 2011, where Aviv 
is set to assist the organizers with media and PR aspects.

Please forgive the top-posting. I think anything else would be cruel in 
this case.

The quoted message is entirely in HTML formatting. I don't know why 
anybody uses HTML in email, but it is altogether out of place in list 
traffic. It is worse in this case, because the message contains no 
plain-text part at all. Please write to the list in Plain Text only.

One tangential note to Dotan's article regarding inserting
non-printing characters:

In OpenOffice, you can use "Insert->Formatting Mark", which gives
you a handy submenu of such characters. This is more convenient than
using "Insert->Special Character", which requires sorting through
a bunch of character subsets.
