P&C have all sorts of "clubs" they organize to make the invited people
feel "exclusive". http://www.itclubs.co.il/

The Linux Users' group is a similar initiative (though if memory serves
it's less tightly affiliated with P&C, it's a joint marketing gimmick of
Sun, SGI, IBM, Emet and a few others where the "users" in the title actually
means "companies that try to make a few more thousand dollars by waving
a tux flag". In fact, AFAIK the only member of the community that ever
witnessed one of their meetings (were there more than one?) Is Shachar
Shemesh, and the only thing I think that came out of it was that Logo
you saw that is pulled once a year, dusted and pasted on the Go Linux
invitation.
