Linux-IL has the strangest procedure I ever saw for voting on a place of 
meeting:
It is not sufficient to cast your vote, but you (or someone else of your 
gang) must also secure a meeting place which meets as many of the following 
requirements as possible:
1. At least 31.41593 good seats (the number was rounded up a bit).
2. A large screen projector which can display the contents of a PC screen.
3. A PC whose processor is at least 486-66, and whose hard disk is full 
   of Linux stuff.  The PC must also have hardware+software interface to 
   the Internet.
4. Connection to the Internet.
5. Has been subjected to a blessing ceremony conducted by our godfather, 
   Harvey J. Stein.
6. The sponsor must have had taken his turn at writing down 
   lecture notes of a previous meeting - for the Deaf members of Linux-IL, 
   for publication in the two Linux-IL Web sites and for History.  
   Furthermore, his lecture notes must have been judged to have 
   sufficient quality to get grade of at least 76.54% (out of 100%) - the 
   judges being the panel of Deaf Linux-IL members and Linux-IL Web site 
   maintainers.
7. The meeting place must NOT have been contaminated by the corrupting 
   and foul presence of a copy of the Windows 95 software during the last 
   7 days and 6:15 hours before the start of the meeting.

In addition, you must endure at least two rounds of voting, initiated by 
people who did not bother to secure a room and who did not read previous 
E-mail from the list, and who do not know the Linux-IL culture, 
procedures and rules.
