Hi
Any chance to do it not during the summer break in August, when some of us are not here, but when the new semester starts: end of October/November? I know it is a very selfish request, but probably others would prefer that as well.
First, I know of at least one (veteran) Haifux member who will not be here from next September and this date suits him. I had talked to him , but I don't want to mention names here. Second, in case there will be a second lecture it will can be scheduled for October/November when the new semester starts. But it seems to me that that postponing the suggested (first?) lecture for 2-3 months , to October/November may be turn out to be not so good idea from my part. So I prefer to keep the scheduled date , which is 20.8.07. Regards, Rami Rosen On 7/2/07, Gabi Kliot <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
