Now you can - Introducing the Linux installation and demonstration party for lawyers, hosted by the Israeli bar... :-)
Where: Somewhere in Tel-Aviv, I'm still not sure where. When: December 2nd, 15:30. What: Recently the Israeli bar have passed a decision to use Open Source Software as much as possible for their activities. To help promote this great idea Adv. Haim Ravia has organised a Linux installation party and demonstration as part of a law confrence held by the bar (he will also give a lecture about the legal implications of Open Source at said confrence). He has asked our help in organising the event. Details: Because of the obviously non technical crowd involved we've decided to settle on a default configuration of RedHat 8.0. This does not mean that if someone will insist of having anything else installed we would say no, just that for simplicity we would default to installing this specific distribution and not ask the victim^H^H^H^H client what to install. Remember - these people has no idea what Linux is at all... We also want to add some helpful specific applications, like OpenOffice with bidi support beta, ADSL connection scripts , the free Hebrew fonts etc. If anyone knows how to build a "custom" RedHat install CD set with add/replaced packages kindly contact me in person. In addition to installing Linux for anyone interested, we also thought to have a demonstration display of "Linux in action" that will include bidi-OpenOffice and usinh Linux for email and web surfing. Thanks to the efforts of Shachar Shemesh we will also demonstrate at the event the legal software Pad-Or running under Wine (don't worry, the copy we use has been given us by Pad-Or themselves for this specific purpose and they helped Shcahr get it working too :-) . If anyone has any additional ideas for demonstration *that would be attractive to lawyers* kindly let me know.
