[Haifux] W2L discussion

[Zvi Devir]

Hi All,

Two suggestions regarding advertising:

A. When I was in still in the faculty, I used to advertise Haifux 
activities on the faculty billboard. I was sending Rivka an announcement 
a few days before the lecture, and she had a template prepared for 
Haifux. If some one want to take the responsibility, I will ask Rivka to 
resume announcing Haifux lectures on the faculty billboard.

B. It is possible (or at least used to be possible) to advertise the 
lectures in advanced in Factor, ASAT bulletin. However, announcements 
should be given three or four weeks in advanced.

Just my 2 Agoroth.
Zvi.
