There is - at least it shows in Mozilla. I just looked at the registration page. I am not willing to register my employer's details, since I am going to attend privately if at all, not as a representative of my employer. So I thought it would be OK to put HaMakor instead of the company's name (Is HaMakor a sponsor? There is a broken link to "Irgun Linux" in the page Shachar pointed to... What's that?). No way - they require addresses, phone numbers, fax numbers - all mandatory. It is certainly reasonable for them to request a phone number and an email address - they need to contact participants somehow. However, I don't want to provide my home address, and I have no fax... I decided not to fill the form out. To tell you the truth, I have a feeling that they are going to spam the contact addresses and/or release the contact details to sponsors and possibly others, though this feeling is based solely on the "feel" or the registration page (too many contact details are mandatory). Paranoia is its own reward. By the way, is there any problem with the above idea to register as HaMakor member from the point of view of HaMakor? I mean, if it were possible from the conference's standpoint. > My failure to register is especially silly given the fact that I'm > supposed to present in that conference :) Well, why don't you just show up and see if they are willing to change the program because you have not registered ;-). -- Oleg Goldshmidt | [EMAIL PROTECTED] ================================================================= 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]
