announce: Haifa Linux Club's 1st meeting.




(note - some of you receive this message via BCC cause they asked to be
notified when this club begins - sorry for any double-posts).

hi,

I'm pleased to announce that the first meeting of the long-ago-suggested
Haifa Linux club will take place at the Technion in Haifa, Fishbach
building (computer science faculty's building) at room 413, on 19-Aug-99,
at 18:00 (thanks to orr dunkelman for arranging the location). The meeting
will last between 1.5 and 2 hours, and will have
the following agenda:

- a 5-10 minutes introduction.

- a 30-45 minutes 'lecture' about unix and Linux programming model -
  history and present. we'll discuss the origins of unix, the sys V vs.
  BSD systems (with relation to programming interfaces), where Linux
  appears to stand amongst them, libraries programming tools and
  programming environments available for unix and Linux programmers,
  and what is unique in Linux, from a programmers point of view.

- a 10 minute break.

- 25-30 minutes open discussion about what people expect from this club,
  what they might wish to contribute to this club.

- a 5 minutes 'concluding remarks' and administrativa.


Note: the Technion's computer science systems group staff has arranged
this room, and this activity will be announced also in the Technion, so
the first meeting might be a bit crowded, and a bit milky. however, after
the first one, i hope that only people interested in Linux and unix
programming will arrive, and starting at the second meeting we will delve
into more specific programming (and some system administration) material,
as was discussed on linux-il few month back.

How to get there:

as far as i know, parking should be done _outside_ the Technion, either in
the streets near the front gate, or in the Nesher area near the back
gate. i assume parking places will be available due to the season, and the
fact we meet at the end of the week. from the front gate - go down the
road, cross the traffic circle, and continue past the parking lot. the
second building to your left is the "fishbach" building. if you arrive by
the back gate, go past the gate up the road. on the junction (few hundread
meters from the gate) turn left (that is - up), and continue until you
went past the bio-medicine building, then turn right. walk forward until
you get to the fishbach building (which will be on your right), or ask
someone, if you get lost. as for the location of this room inside the
building - i hope orr could give us more exact instructions - if i
remember right, it's hidden in the fishbach maze - the place where rumors
claim some people got lost and died of starvation...

if one arrives by bus, the '31' Eged bus route goes inside the campus -
but it only goes once every hour - check with Eged Haifa for more details.
there is also an Eged bus number '28' that gets to the "Ziv center" in
neve sha'anan - it takes about 10 minutes of walk until you get to the
gate (and then you have more walking inside the campus) so it is less
recommended.

if there are any questions, please let me know.

see you there,
guy
