I will say here this, in the sincere hope that ALL replies will go
directly to me or to the appropriate forums on the web site (thanks Ira!):

In order to really be professional, "commercial like" and efficient we
must have an organization with a legal status. 

Yes I'm talking about the bloody Amuta again. I was all in favor the Amuta
idea, but I got the notion from people on the list that they find this
idea less pleasing, and so I gave up on it. 

If you REALLY want to do something professional - lets start talking about
forming a formal Israeli Linux body as a tool to make our activities worth 
the trouble - I am quite convinced that as a legal entity we will have no
trouble get sponsors for these parties and other activities.

Ok, light the torches and let the flame war begin... ;-)

*REMINDER* - ALL discussions of these issues must be held in private Email
OR in the Amuta forum in the http://www.linux.org.il web site - follow the
link!
