There are three ways to treat haifux: A) A FOSS/Linux club (an interesting debate on its own) - anything which is not FOSS or Linux-related is discouraged, as it's not in the charter B) Gabi's approach - it's all about knowledge - anything goes C) the golden ratio, where we usually are A, but

I think this is far from being the aim for Haifux. I recall the reason was to have a place where Linux developers can meet and work together... We've gone quite a way from there, but we are after all Haifux. Any lecture which is on advocating Linux, or even on user space experience in Linux

Hi Clubsys is highly academic and theoretical. They will not allow lecture on dirty, system-level details, which is what interests us, the engineers, I suppose. :) Plus, Clubsys is not functional for the last half of the year. There is Clubnet in EE as well, but is it mostly theoretical as

OK. Lectures on configuring WiFi cards in Windows is obviously out of the scope of the club (again, this is Haifux, if people want to have Haifwin, HaifOS, or any other club - they are welcome to start it). If there is some lesson about that for Linux, then it might fit, but otherwise - it's not

Hi Orna I got you and I see your point. Not suggesting to change Haifux any more. I just want to say that if there will be a discussion again whether to have windows drivers lecture or not (or any other interesting windows lecture) - I am strongly in favor of having it. Best, Gabi

Just a few more points to throw in here - In the short time I've been in Haifux, it's been mostly a 'vote-with-your-feet' club. People show up to lectures which interest them, and speak in favor of them on the mailing list. The reason, I believe, we mostly have our tight-knit linux-related
