While personally I don't like the way Peli is doing marketing but I think it only shows my lack of understanding in marketing. After all he is the one who built this huge marketing operation and I can hardly convince people to take a 100 NIS note from me in excange of a 50 NIS note and with all due respect I think non of us in this mailing list is in a much better position. Why not leave marketing for Peli and do what we are (or supposed to be) good in.

What they are trying to do is to 'sell the linux idea' to those who are not convinced yet: Corporate, government or private. This is very good for both them and us. I just wish there was at least one Perl presentation on the conference. <plug on> But never mind, on the same day we'll have our regular monthly Perl meeting and a month later we'll have our own conference </plug> Gabor riding a praying mantiss ================================================================= 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]
