and seemingly-commercialized? i'd prefer to leave the LUG's state as is,
for internal meetings. commercialization is vaiable only for bringing up
events that cannot be set up in a completely vulentary environment (e.g. a
linux booth at some expo...).

no. you'll find it extremely hard to convert a VC++ programmer into using
linux.

perhaps you should go quickly to the US and have fun in the LUG there.
meet RMS et. all. i'm afraid you'll not find too many people _here_ to
organize such events with. it's possible, it's do-able, and it's been done
several years back, but it was using the 'bought food, no beer,
distributed speech' paradigm :P~~
btw, as for celebrities - this is fun once or twice, but eventually, it
tends to be repeteteive, and boring. not to mention one great disadvantage
- they carry out the talk in english, and this makes it less fluent then
it could be, when done in hebrew.
