I see I wasn't specific enough last time about the place :-) please RSVP to me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] the meeting is at IDC in Hertzelia (Hamerkaz Habein Tkhumi) which used to be the nun-mem base just south of the airport. map is here: http://www.idc.ac.il/main/Content/Bigmap.html date is Friday, January 7th. 11am at Class 4 (cross the campus, turn right, last room in the computer lab row), I'll try to get some sort of a map up on the website. So far I got only 5 RSVP replies, please tell me in time so we can make sure we have enough room. All further announcements will be on linux-il-announce, so please subscribe now by Emailing [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "subscribe" in the body. This is done so people who can't keep up with the list's volume will still know about Events like Haifux and IDC, possibly Jerusalem one day. Spread this around to your friends, as it may interest programmers and Unix people not in our "clique", and that is what we hope to open up to. As mentioned before, this month's lecture is about the open() call (Ury Segal), and Y2K horror stories. for the next Friday I have two options scheduled: the fork() call (Ury Segal) and using Python for prototyping (Chen Shapira), possibly even fit both if time permits. A month later I thought I'll give a talk myself about IPchains, proxies and building basic firewalls with free software. More sugestions can be dropped in the mail address I gave above. -- Ira Abramov ; whois:IA58 ; www.scso.com ; all around Linux enthusiast "Linux poses a real challenge for those with a taste for late-night hacking (and/or conversations with God)."
