No, I saw it. First, it says the sum is 100,000 to 1,000,000 - don't be too optimistic that the final sum will be 1 million. Second, I don't understand where you got the idea that the goverment is planning on giving the whole jackpot to a newly founded amuta of people that "linuxam omanutam". According to that article, the committee (linux-il is NOT that committee) is going to give money to programming-groups in commercial companies and universities working on making Hebrew free software. I suppose that a company like IBM, which has provably done good work in this area, is going to get a substantial chunk of the money to persuade it to continue its work. Someone in one of the universities might get a grant to sit for 6 months to create a super-duper Hebrew Linux distribution. But I don't see why the government would ever want to pass substantial amounts of money to linux-il, amuta or not. -- Nadav Har'El | Monday, May 27 2002, 17 Sivan 5762 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |----------------------------------------- Phone: +972-53-245868, ICQ 13349191 |Why do we drive on a parkway and park on http://nadav.harel.org.il |a driveway? ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
