[green@pf1.co.il: Re: Forum, Installation Parties (+Config.Mgmt.)]
I'm forwarding the following to the list, for the benefit of the
InstallParties momentum that might just begin to flourish here. I'd be happy
to assist at parties in the Haifa area (probably based at Technion).
Anyone who knows anyone who knows anyone who's even remotely interested in
entering the Linux community, please forward name+address. I suggest
appointing a local coordinator for every potential part of the country, and
forwarding all relevant info (potential participants, potential volunteers,
wheres and whens etc.) to him.
For the Haifa area, if there's anyone interested (preferably with access to
Technion's facilities) please step forward.

Gentlemen:
I would like to let you know that we at PF1 Systems are willing to
sponsor/support/participate in any installation party or other
Linux-related events. Please contact me with just about anything that
you have in mind regarding Linux occasions and I am sure that we could
work something out. It is obvious, that the best initiatives in Linux
world come from the volunteers. Sometimes, however, a corporate
sponsorship and/or backup can come very handy.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any suggestions.
Best regards,
