Benny has composed an Industry collaboration plan, which is designated at bringing industry players to use Linux.
Benny kindly agreed to co-ordinate the plan, which can be run orthogonally and independently with W2L and other "outreaching" activities we might do. I guess some support from Haifux/Ha'makor may be necessary (as a name to rely upon, etc.), which I think would be easily arranged. Besides, in case you are interested, please contact Benny with comments, volunteering etc. The plan is attached below. -- Orr Dunkelman, [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Any human thing supposed to be complete, must for that reason infallibly be faulty" -- Herman Melville, Moby Dick.
