RMS, Hosts Must Support Boycott?

2011-06-10 Thread Tom Balazs
After Dr. Richard M. Stallman (RMS) cancelled his lecture at the University
of Haifa I tried to arrange an alternative meeting hall for him. Like some
other people I thought that all that was required was not an Israeli
university or perhaps not a prominent symbol of the state.

Yesterday (9-Jun-11) RMS sent me a response which indicates that there is an
even bigger problem. According to him, the Palestinians' boycott is so
strict that they object to [him giving lectures hosted by] all organizations
except those that support the boycott.

My opinion is that under such circumstances RMS should refuse to speak, or
at least have a sudden and unavoidable scheduling conflict which
necessitates cancelling his visit.

If this really is the situation then I will not be searching for lecture
halls for him and will not be attending his lectures either.

   Our theater is very busy during the month of June, and the date you had
   mentioned wouldwnt work.

My visit is in July, not June.  Maybe that was misunderstanding.

However, it seems that the Palestinians' boycott is so strict that
they object to all organizations except those that support the boycott.
I don't know whether they object if such an organization rents a hall.

   So I must charge the minimum cost of 750 N.I.S  in order to be able to
   operate the Theater.

How many dollars is that?
I have no idea whether I have this much in my pocket.

I think RMS does not have any intention of speaking, and is the OSS/FSF?GNU
version of what is known as a cock-tease, though he seems more like a plain
schmuck from a distance.

He should not speak, nor even visit Israel. He should support freedom of
expression in the west bank and Gaza by staying there.

Personally, maybe each one of us should send the poor guy a nickel.

Re: RMS, Hosts Must Support Boycott?

2011-06-10 Thread Orr Dunkelman
One can think of a few action plans:

1. Who cares? RMS is known to be somewhat awkward, and his behavior of
hey I'm coming, oh, I'm coming only if it is not a univ., oh, wait a
second, I cannot come unless this is the boycott offices in Israel,
does not add to him much.

The advantage of this approach is that we do not need to do nothing.
Main problem: This alienates both RMS (which will happen anyway) and
the Israeli FOSS community (there is a reason you will never ever ever
hear Bill Gates saying something of this form).

2. Boycotting RMS until he apologizes for this behaviour.

Advantage: we take a zionist stand point, proving to the Israeli
public that we do not share the view point of RMS. Dis-advantage:
seriously, are we 4-year olds playing Chilba's?

3. Start sending RMS personal emails - won't work. It did not work
before, won't work now. I would avoid sending nickels. The guy did not
hear google answers queries of the form 750 ILS in USD.

4. Approaching FSF and explain our problem with this type of behavior.
Explaining to FSF that they lose face in this instance.

(do note that 4 is independent of 1,2, and 3).

An alternative to Skype

2011-06-10 Thread Uri Even-Chen
Hi people,

I saw Richard Stallman's signature:
 Skype: No way! That's nonfree (freedom-denying) software.
  Use free telephony http://directory.fsf.org/category/tel/

I'm using Skype to communicate with my friends. I mostly use it for instant
messaging (not phone calls). I did use it for phone calls in the past, but I
don't have a microphone attached to my computer - so today I use regular
phone (018). When I used Skype for phone calls, I paid Skype for Skype out
credit, but Skype zeroed my credit after a few months of not using their
service - which I consider stealing money from me. For all that reasons, I
don't want to use Skype. But Skype is a monopoly - all my friends use it.
Even my grandmother wants to start using it. What free alternatives are
there to Skype? (free as in freedom of course).

By the way, what do you think about Google talk? I use Google talk from my
Gmail account (I didn't download the software).

I'm using Windows XP on PC. And Google Chrome as my browser.

Since Mr Stallman had so little sense as to assent to inflicting even 
the earlier (milder) boycott rules on talks in Israel, it was 
scandalous for the local organizatiton to even consider seeking kosher 
venues for him. It's unfortunate that it took the revelation of the REAL 
rules to cause Israelis to realize what was being done to them.

The mind boggles at the notion that hostile organizations might be able 
to induce an Israeli organization to accept any kind of boycott of 
Israel, and thereby to seem to justify it.

Aside from which Mr Stallman's adventure into politics do him no credit.

there are many alternatives, like XMPP. if you need

There is also a plugin for Miranda IM (FOSS) that uses imo.im as a skype

Joomla in Israel

2011-06-10 Thread Tzafrir Cohen
Hi

I'm following the the Hebrew Wikipedia article for Joomla:
http://he.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D7%92%27%D7%95%D7%9E%D7%9C%D7%94

Recently most of the updates there were an edit war regarding the
external link to Joomla in Israel. It seems that there's a shiny new
http://joomla.org.il , in addition to the older http://joomla.co.il .

I'm not really familiar with any of those two, so I don't feel confident
enough to delete either links. Sadly nobody who knows more about it
bothered clarifying the issue or writing more about this. So at this
point I figured I'll just ask the question here: could anybody write a
bit about Joomla in Israel?

Hi Tzafrir,

AFAIK, the Joomla community in Israel had a split (represented by the move
from joomla.co.il to joomla.org.il).

From the contact I have in this community the relevant site is the org.il

Looking at the wiki page, the user Oc666 is one of the joomla.org.il people,
and I think his edits can (and should) be trusted. Looking at his other
contributions to wikipedia shows that he is consistent with contributing.

Re: An alternative to Skype

2011-06-10 Thread Steve G.
If you want computer to computer, there are plenty of chat clients that
would work - Jabber, msn, aol, yahoo, I think all have voice and video
communications in them. Gmail is another excellent system. The problem is
the network effect - both sides must be part of the system.

To make phone calls, other than skype there is ekiga and probably some other
things, as well as gmail, but these are not free.

Personally, whatever RMS puts on his web site, is what I will NOT be using
in the future. Even if it means I have to buy MS OS, though considering that
practically all laptop computers have MS on them, I doubt it would be an
issue.

I have been a devout proponent of OSS solutions for many years, but there is
something to be said for for-profit software - you are not dependent on RMS
and his likes. A real company supports its product regardless of politics.

Go Proprietary Software!

Re: RMS, Hosts Must Support Boycott?

2011-06-10 Thread Steve G.
I am not worried about his opinion, but his support of a boycott of Israel,
and the fact that I have to rely on him for support of products I use.

As far as I am concerned, my present view (after RMS and Mint) is that OSS
is something to support as long as there is a commercial alternative. If in
the past I was hoping to see MS and other commercial vendors marginalized, I
now think they should continue to be the leading solution providers, and OSS
should be used alongside, with the caveat that it is not reliable and future
proof. OSS is only one of many options to weigh and use.
