Well, Vadik is gone now as well (as of Dec.2). Though, he may still have
inroads if he had the time to help.
I don't believe I am the best person for this, but out of curiosity I may
head over there next week to try to talk to some people I know and see
what can be done about solving #2. I guess just to see if the doors are
wide open or if it requires someone closer to huji to pry them open.

For the Intro to Linux lecture that I discussed...
Those that work in the field and have already heard of Linux but need
convincing (and more than just slogans and history of). "Field" could be
anything from system administration to programming to internet
development. Personally I would like to see such a lecture going to small
businesses or startups which either use another platform or are in the
process of deciding. So, there is one vague and one focused description
of the audience I think this would appeal to. Either way, figuring this
out should be low on the priority list.

For this to happen
o the people capable of preparing a lecture would need to speak up
o or, someone with connections to professors or professionals that are
capable of preparing lectures (but that may not be on the list) would
need to speak up.
Getting a line-up of lectures would be important for a successful group.
However, just getting the space would be enough to hold a simple
opening/test lecture (eg. something like I discussed before). I'm for
seeing both of these happen.
However, considering the activity on the list from the Jerusalem people
speaking up (or, lack thereof) I would say that there isn't much
interest. This would really have to change.
In any case, I will let the list know if anything interesting or
productive comes from my snooping around cs.huji next week.
