Meeting Subjects
Shay Rojansky Taking care for this ??
Here are the lectures we have secured up to now (to my knowledge):
1. DosEmu (required Linux 1.2.x + X)
2. Tcl etc.
3. Ariel and I will give a lecture on connecting highschools
to Internet (Linux usability + ideas, etc...).
4. Marc may kamikaze himself by lecturing about FreeBSD (if he
doesn't get slaughtered first, that is).
Limor Schweitzer <limor@elron.net>
* Hebrew applications for Linux
Status of (x)emacs hebrew port ?
translation of MIMEd eudora/Pegasus hebrew mails into RFC1555
standard so they can be read by pine.
* Suggestions on how we can effectively finance our periodic Linux
upgrades.
CD subscriptions + IDE H/D which could be passed hand to hand ?
* Hacking & Cracking with the aid of Linux
Could this be a serious full disclosure security discussions forum?
* Contributing to the internet
How about us contributing an hour or two a week for building
some
sofware/documentation/FAQ
* Articles
Translating or writing articles about linux can easily make it
into local papers, now that the internet has become such a "hot"
issue.
* Lecturing
Could anyone prepare a lecture on some interesting linux related
subject or maybe tell about some personal experience in kernel
hacking
or some interesting project you've been starting up with linux ?
