Rotating meetings...

Let's *not* have a long, protracted discussion about when and where to
have the meeting. There's a sizable contingent of Israel Linux group
members in both TA and in Jerusalem. Let's at the very least
alternate meeting locations between the two cities. If Haifa now has
a comparable number of members, it too should be on the meeting
location rotation. After all, this is the *Israel* Linux users group,
not the *Jerusalem* Linux users group. It'd certainly be *unfair* to
the non-Jerusalemite members to always have the meetings in Jerusalem
just because Jerusalem happens to have sightly more members than any
other city.
So, can anyone get a TA meeting location for about 50 people? How
about one of you group members who are affiliated with TAU seeing
about lining up a room? Of course, the above rotation policy can't
apply if no one in TA can find a room for the meeting...
Also, no Saturday meetings - let's not exclude the observant. Friday
mornings or Thursday nights are probably the only times that out of
towners can make meetings, so let's try for these days of the week.
Another point - we should also collect meeting topics. How about
anyone who has done something interesting under Linux (like set up
iBCS & ran the SCO version of wordperfect, or compiled MULE, or
rebuilt his system with ELF format binaries, or built a PPP server out
of a Linux box, or ...) giving a quickie overview of how to do it,
what the pitfalls to avoid are, and how it worked out in general.
