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

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

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
