Just anwering the question:
If any of you have the equipement, i.e., laptop with a good internet
camera configured to broadcast (or to send to some other server that
broadcasts), I'd be happy to have such a thing.
However, the "best" internet cam I have access to has a resulotion of
320X240 and a sample rate of a few frames per second.
As for why I haven't attended most of the last lectures (I've been to the
last two I think), is overloading with work.
Looking @ haifux at years perspective (soon we'll celebrate 7 years), it
seems that there are cycles for people coming. A person starts to get
interested in Linux, and after 2-3 years he (or she) has other
commitments. Thus, it is important to gather new people (5 per year would
be sufficient). In previous years it was the Linux for Technion student
lecture (As part of the w2l events), and I guess Ohad's talk would be a
good source as well.
So - if the low participation continues we'll have to do something. At
mot, we can always return to having only Guy as a speaker ;)

why not do the lecture thing online ?
most computer people will be far more encouraged to participate
in an online event while not leaving their rooms , lets face it :
public transportation is not fun at all ..........
i mean i would love if there was *only* public transportation and all
those stupid irritating ugly private cars were out of the streets ..but that
is another matter.

Hello all,
I think it's time to talk about this: The number of participants in Haifux
lectures seems to be shrinking lately. It was notable in particular in
Orr's and Guy's recent lectures, which both covered highly technical
issues, which have plenty of implications even if you don't deal directly
with the subjects involved.
I remember far more participants in much more esoteric issues.
There has been suggestions that slides shouldn't be published on the site,
because people read the slides instead of coming (!!?). Personally, I
behave in the opposite way (no slides, won't come), but I believe this
issue is worth a discussion.
And of course, I would suggest to discuss the reasons of what appears to be
a decline of the great Haifux empire. Standing at 142 lectures (w2l and SiL
not included) could it be that we've already covered it all? Are we getting
settled down, old and rusty? Are we missing the fun of being underground?
Your opinions are mostly welcome. And if possible, please talk about why
*you* don't show up. I believe it's more interesting than general theories
about what happens.
Hag Sameah,
Eli
