yippee. I never cared that much to alcohol myself. I drink some beer with
friends occasionally, but it's like a beta kernel... try it for a few
hours because it's fun, but if you want a stable system once a month is
more than enough :-) "Don't drink and drive" - my equivalent is "Don't do
Betas and run production". :-)

I didn't want to open the discussion on the one hand, but I see there will
be no escaping it.
So far I tryed to be very democratic about Linux dinners, since more than
a few members of our group that I like and respect will indeed have a
problem with that. I think we went overboard with the party 4 months ago
at Gilad's and fealt bad about it.
OTOH, I had many requests from people who's names will be kept to have at
least ONE non-kosher gathering, at least two people actually set this as
their condition for coming. I think it's a little agressive on the one
hand, but I can fully sympathyse, and that's why I said that once or twice
a year, an officially non-kosher dinner next to a kosher one is not a bad
idea either way a few people won't come because of the cuisine we choose,
or the date or the place etc. (in short, through self-persuasion, I don't
feel guilty about it :)
OK, It's gonna be fun, and I'd like to end this kosher/nonkosher thread
here, I hereby declare:
A dinner on the 12th, Jerusalem, 20:30, Peperoni's (same place we threw
Viktorie's farewell party)
and a meeting on the 24th in TA, at some pub or whatever (Omer is
organizing :)
Sayonara, Capybara*!
