According to that article, the What the hell are we going to do with 1Mil Nis(or less ;) money? (Captain, he is gone mad. we must shoot him now. Don't worry bones we go hope for him yet). Now Seriously, I didn't mention anything like keeping the money for ourselves (though it doesn't really sound so bad.. NO NO *slap* get a grip) but maybe if we will have some kind of official status we could influence the committee. Right now, I doubt they will invite any of linux-il members, plus I am not even sure they know we exists, and I prefer the money will go to the Linux giur and not to orthodox giur(pun intended, no offense meant). To sum it up: No official status = No Knesset influence. (And don't tell me you believe they are going to pay attention to any one person on this list (company CEOs ~~maybe~~ excluded) you have to speak their language)
