[Haifux] New "Welcome to Linux" Series

[Ori Idan]

I would rather give this presentation (I think I will use the presentation
Meital used last year).
If I can not give this presentation, I would be happy to give the "Living in
the community" presentation.
If any other club would like me to give a presentation, please contact me.
