I meant the opposite, of course, saying that even if those meetings were closed to the public (and I know they aren't) it is still OK. What I tried to say, is that you promote Perl (btw, I do use perl now and then, and it is useful for some things I do, but personally for me the programming language is C) and if you decided tthat tomorrow you are going to hold a special event only for Haifa Univ. students, this is OK, becuase you do it. It is preferable in the sense of marketing not to close the event (please note that the installation party will be open to all!), but if you this - this is your right. > > -- Orr Dunkelman, [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Man is the only animal that blushes--or has reason to." --- Mark Twain Spammers: http://vipe.technion.ac.il/~orrd/spam.html -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Haifa Linux Club Mailing List (http://www.haifux.org) To unsub send an empty message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
