Ah, that was the next issue I wanted to talk about.
I got to know about Haifux because of a A4-sized flyer, hung on a temporary billboard in Meyer building. I wrote down the old and complicated web address (was it linuxclub.il.eu.org?) and visited the site.
Whatsup and Hamakor sites are reached mostly by those who are already in the community. The more interesting question is how many of Technion's CS students realize that there actually is a club running on a regular basis. Not to mention Haifa university. Or even think about hi-tec companies in Haifa.
So the big message of today is Haifux.org. A flier with a large penguin, that address, and some text explaining very shortly what the club is about (or only teasing) is where I would put the money. And will at request.
Because simple B&W fliers on billboards will do the job, and printing 200 of them, which is enough to swamp any relevant place, will cost less than 50 NIS. If someone prints them, I've got no problem taking that kind of expense (and so are several others, I suppose).
The big question is whether these fliers will indeed find themselves where they should.
