Since most of the cars have 5 seats, I think that some of us may
lack a car, and still arrive without buses. For example, I am from
the center area too, and Haifa is a hour and something for me too,
but I have more 4 seats (after removing 2 chairs of babies), so I
can take other people with me (although I am afraid that I'll use
the opportunity that I am in Haifa to do more things in the area...)

Read what Evgeny Stambulchik wrote before. I could not write it
better...
And besides - not everything that is good in America or Europe, is
good in Israel. You cannot develop something in atmosphere of
Popolitica. And this is exactly the thing that was happened after we
raised the issue  :-(
I wish the situation was different - but this is the case. And if
you don't agree - then just name *ONE* GPL/Open-Source software
which was developed in ISRAEL using this model (list)...
I didn't say that ALL the Israelis don't develop serious GPL, but
while we waste our time in arguing through Linux-IL, more serious
people (like Amit Margalit with his XBanner and other free stuff)
sit and develop their stuff, WITHOUT ANY LIST. And I also know that
I will not have ever a chance to write more free stuff, since some
people will HAVE to answer this message, and I will HAVE to answer
them, and so on  :-(
