Re: The future of IGLU meetings
The following was posted to the linux-biu list several days ago.

Shalom everyone,
I hope you are all having a good summer.
I hope that at the end of August we will start up the linux lectures again
(the "mitkadmim" series). While you are all enjoying summer holidays,
please think about what you would like to lecture on, or who you know who
could give a good lecture, and pass on the info.
We will try and run a beginners' series again after the Chagim.
Lehishtamea,
Jeremy Schiff

I believe that we can get a fully equipped hall in Bar-Ilan if we ask to. What
did you had in mind?
It is my belief that there are no meetings in the Gush-Dan area primarily
because of the lack of people who are willing to prepare a good lecture.
