Re: meeting (or is it really meating:-)



In message <1394DB65BBE@HAGIGA.JCT.AC.IL> you write:

|Also, any general experiences with Linux could be discussed.
|Experiences comparing Linux to other operating systems, bugs & work

All these sound like good subjects, but we can also discuss them more
comfortably and more seriously (IMHO) through the list.

I'm not saying that a meeting won't be a nice thing to have, but maybe we
should exploit it for matters which can't be discuessed over the list.

(Like having example copies of the Linux Journal so people can decide if they
like it - I'd recommand it myself).

As for a location - I vote for Jerusalem - Izar's proposal is the best so far.
