<div dir="ltr">Orna,<br><br>I understand your point and agree with it, nevertheless, I believe there are a lot of skilled programmers and super users out there that tend to think Linux is no more than an old "dos window for geeks', unusable for the desktop user (i.e - them, while not doing sudo stuff) and so on...<br>
<br>I would like to show them the true face and powers of the GNU/Linux system - as I did with my friends.<br><br>The series should target existing power / super users that currently work solely with Windows - kind of: "Look, this is how it looks like, this is how you do this task under Linux"<br>
<br>I noticed the Haifux calendar is wide open for the neear future. I am willing to do the lectures myself (although, I am not a gifted lecturer as others I've seen). I'll need help with spreading the word through the right channels - to get to the right target audiance.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Hi Amichai,<br><br>On a personal note, I am tired of being a missionary and bored of preaching. I feel Linux has become mainstream enough for Haifux to focus on higher-level topics, which are more interesting for the hard core of the Linux club, rather than working on PR/introductory lectures for strangers. <br>
I would like to see Haifux more as a meeting place for enthusiasts, along the original lines of guy's LUPG (<a href="http://users.actcom.co.il/%7Echoo/lupg/" target="_blank">http://users.actcom.co.il/~choo/lupg/</a>) and along the lines of the first years of the club, where people would learn a subject and then teach it to others. <br>
We have been recycling lectures and generally stepping in place - I would like to see Haifux moving on to new professional territories, one of which is parallel programming.<br><br>I would also like to see Haifux community collaborative projects alive and kicking again.<br>
<br>On a more general note, Shlomi Fish has a lot of energy for W2L, but he spends it in Tel Aviv. A project such as W2L requires a lot of energy from several people. If there are not enough energetic people, there is no W2L.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Hello Haifa Linuxers!<br><br>I wonder - why was it so long since we had Welcome 2 Linux lectures in Haifa?<br><br>I had a couple of friends at home a week a go that have just installed Linux on their Laptops. One of them told me he haven't turned on his Window$ machine for more than a week and he is really happy with his Ubuntu 8.10 install (everything works - even WiFi) but he would like to know some more, have a better understanding of the inner workings of the Linux OS.<br>
<br>I came across the <a href="http://www.linuxreality.com" target="_blank">Linux Reality</a> Podcast and thought we could hold a series of lectures along the lines of the Podcast outline.<br><br>Please don't flame me too much <img goomoji="gtalk.347" style="margin: 0pt 0.2ex; vertical-align: middle;" src="cid:gtalk.347@goomoji.gmail"><br>
