<div dir="ltr">Let's take myself as an example - I am an open source enthusiast, use Linux almost exclusively for 3.5 years, and would describe my feelings towards the club as "love", yet school work takes up all my time and I can very rarely come to the meetings.<div>

<div dir="ltr">a small budget for members is nice. however i don't like the idea of bribing people to show up at haifux. the club is by us, for us. we have different platforms to spread the word. i therefore oppose the chipping in on principle. <br>

<div dir="ltr">Once we have a small budget and refreshments are already being arranged, it's trivial for club members to donate a small amount and together quadruple+ the budget. I don't mind chipping in for this effort.<div>

I think, however, that I failed to stress that the budget is indeed modest. Around 20-30 shekels per meeting. This can cover a couple of soda bottles, or cookies etc. Not huge tables covers with tiny sandwiches of tired cheese and cucumbers...</div>
