Everything will be reported when it will be known. The *current*
plan in case of a full day is a full day (...), and in case of
half a day - morning.

BTW: On one hand, I want to apologize for using UPPER case letters.
On the other hand, some people replied and wrote: "When?  Where?".

Thanks. Exactly what I meant. It's a Technion's machine maintained by
you, and Andi/Zeev are the developers (and will give the lecture).
My message was too long even without these details, so I didn't want
to make it even longer.

As I know the press, they will be very excited and surprised to see
volunteer experts come and install Linux for people that they even
don't know, for no reward. But as I stated, the installation party
is in doubt, so we can postpone this discussion to a later time.

Thank you for the ideas. By the way: People&Computers already started
to advertize it, Doran Tikshoret (public-relations) also prepares
something, and Oracle Israel will use its channels too.
But there are still some open issues, so let's wait a few days.
