Well, we cannot start them at 19:00 or 19:30 because that would mean we would
be way into the night at 21:00 or 21:30... 18:30 is the best compromise and
this one time Eddie made it earlier to accomodate for the Holocaust Day.
Furthermore, I define _good_ Info-Tech Worker Hours as a 40-hours week (8 work
hours per day - 9 to 5 or something similar). As some team leading
methodologies such as Extreme Programming or Peopleware demonstrate, one is
not going to achieve more productivity working over-time. The only thing it
is going to cause is to make the workers feel frustrated and that they are
"married to work". (as my programmer cousin who works in the U.S. put it)
If your workplace does not employ you under these conditions, it's too bad for
them.

I'm not familiar with linmagazine. I posted the notice in whatsup, iglu.org.il
and in several mailing lists. (and I think I got the time right everywhere)

If you're going from Tel Aviv, then I could really join you. (I'll tackle the
way back after the lecture or with someone else). You can call me at
03-6424668, and I could really use your phone number as well.
