Well, you can take a look at the sites of the previous series: http://welcome.linux.org.il/2008/ What we did is organise a series of presentations introducing Linux to beginners. Like: * Intro to Linux - what is it all about. * The Linux Installation Process. * Linux for the Student. * Development under Linux. (We focused about C development which is what Technion and TAU students need to know). * Surviving in the FOSS Community / How to get help. * Basic Unix Administration. Etc. There also used to be a Linux installation party / Linux day at certain points, where people brought their computers and other people helped them install Linux. You can find last year's Telux schedule and slides here: http://welcome.linux.org.il/2007/timetable.html This year we're planning to move the "Linux Installation Process" lecture right after the first Mini-Intro presentation, but otherwise everything will remain the same.
