Suits me fine.  Let's hold the meeting at center of Israel - Tel Aviv or 
near to it (and the heck with priority or rotation with Jerusalem, Haifa 
or Eilat).  Of course, if people want to spend 2 months deciding how to 
vote where to hold the meeting...

I disagree.  I think that we all miss more points in a meeting than in 
E-mail exchange which allows several hours and even days to question and 
answer questions. (BIG DISCLAIMER!!!  I am deaf, so of course I'll miss 
100% of what my neighbor wouldn't write down; and miss 0% of what is 
being conducted by E-mail.  Take this into considration when evaluating 
my claim above.)

OK - I remember the nice demos in the last Linux-IL meeting.

Conduct this discussion on this list (i.e. by E-mail).

If to judge from the Computax show experience, E-mail was very effective 
in doing most of the organizational work.  People had time to think over 
ideas, to make inquiries etc.  Same as being in a several days long 
meeting with ability to place phone calls outside as needed, but without 
the cost of being imprisoned in such a meeting.

However meeting would still be needed if it is decided that we need to 
collect money from the members.  I hope that this would not be needed 
this time.

> 4. Future of Linux-IL

Discuss this both in E-mail and also in the meeting.  This is a subject 
which is worthy of drawn out E-mail discussion and heated arguments & fist 
fighting in face-to-face meeting.  :-)
