Hi,
I saw at http://www.pc.co.il/linux2005 that there is a logo for Israel
Linux User Group (IGLU ?!).
No, ILUG, Israeli Linux User Group. No relation to IGLU or Hamakor or
anything else that is community oriented.
I have to admit that I found that confusing explanation quite...confusing.
It's very simple. People and Computers have created together with Sun a
group called JUG (or something similar) for the Java Users Group. JUG is
basically an israeli Java users club sponsered promoted and driven by
Sun and other commercial vendors.
P&C then tried to pull the same stunt with Linux, with Oracle in the
lead. ILUG is basically a group of marketing people from various
commercial entities and some CTOs and the like of big organizations
using Linux.
The "leader" of this group is a certain marketing executive from Oracle
which is a nice eniough person but wouldn't recognize "a Linux" if one
bit it in the behind.
As far as I could tell, this group only exists for the single purpose of
participating in the People and Computer events sponsered by the
vendors. They don't seem to have any other activity, web site or
forum/mailing list except some sporadic mailing between the organization
once a year to organize the event.
In the past attempts of helping this group gain some substance lead by
Shachar Shemesh and Eli Marmor by organizing lectures and such has died
out for lack of interest, depite their best efforts.
