Hi all!
This is a weekend reminder that we will have a TelFOSS meeting about CMake the
upcoming Sunday (25-Oct-2009) on 18:30 in Tel Aviv University. More details
can be found below.
Sorry for not publicising it on Facebook, but the wretched Send button did not
work in Firefox. :-(. It was on Whatsup.org.il, though.
Regards,
Shlomi Fish
