Re: [Haifux] Haifos?

haifux has a ring to it that kinda makes it obvious what it's about. it's
also become known over the years in the technion CS faculty.

i think it's a better idea to keep it

 Well, before renaming Haifux to Haifos or HaiFOSS or HaiFree (because you may 
 discuss open/free content too) 

No. FOSS, as we all know, fails to state that we're talking about
Free (*Libre*) OSS, and may confuse people to thing we're talking about
freebies. Thus the name should be HaiFLOSS. And the homepage should be
green.

Gah, this thread should have been a week ago. Like

This idea was suggested to get sponsorship by Colgate or some other
floss company. However we could not have loss in the name, we did not
lose yet in the battle of FOSS vs. Wrapware.

Hence, I suggest HaiFWIN, or Haifin, the place in haifa where people
with fins may meet and discuss their penguins.

Was that a serious question? No, that date, it looks familiar...

I am going to post that very question to ubuntu-users. Oh, the troll

[Haifux] Offer to help someone with Openoffice and free software for pay

2010-04-08 Thread Yoni Rabkin

Hello,

An acquaintance has contacted me with the request that I help them with
problems involving Openoffice and other pieces of free software in
return for a fee.

I personally am not interested. But if someone is interested in giving
free software tech support for a fee, in Haifa, please contact me and
I'll make the connection.

Peace out.
