Re: [Haifux] Let's face it! (was W2L discussion)
That sounds as a good idea, and I support Eli and Oron's point of view (I personally do not have facebook account). If somebody would be willing to open such a group, with a bit of information on haifux + links to haifux that would be nice. Note that hiafux has a google calendar, which gives you RSS capabilities AFAIK, so as long as you can sync it with the calendar - you're fine (the calendar and the website are usually updated with 10 minutes difference). As for what Zvi suggested - for that we need to have a backlog of lectures, where we know in advance the lectures two/three weeks in advance. Recently, this is not the case, and our schedule is usually empty.

2008/9/5 Eli Billauer [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Completely agreed. I would take it even further: No events should ever be announced there. This is the problem: people would _expect_ events to be posted there. Suppose a hypothetical Udi finds haifux on facebook. He signs up. Now, he expects all his info to come down that channel. What?!?, thinks Udi, I now have to go to another _website_ for info on this facebook group?!? wtf?!? and now he thinks bad of haifux.

Exactly, so only if you can make sure that the data is updated in all places simultaneously put it. Otherwise, put a note saying we're sorry but due to frequent change of schedule, the best place for updates is www.haifux.org or RSSing from ...

[Haifux] [HAIFUX Lecture] The Ruby programming language by Ohad Lutzky
Next Monday, 8th of September, at 18:30, haifux is about to meet and hear Ohad Lutzky's talk about The Ruby programming language Ruby is a modern, elegant programming language. It can be described as dynamic and object-oriented. Others call it a scripting language. It has recently become quite popular, thanks to the Ruby on Rails web development kit. In this lecture I will present the language and try to show some of the neat things about it. A background in programming (and preferably some knowledge of object-oriented programming) will be required for this lecture. == Before the talk, a short discussion (10 minutes tops!) of how, when, and if to hold W2L series will take place. It'll start exactly on 18:30. All comments and views are welcome. == We meet in Taub building, room 6. For instructions see: http://www.haifux.org/where.html Attendance is free, and you are all invited! == We are always interested in hearing your talks and ideas. If you wish to give a talk, hold a discussion, or just plan some event haifux might be interested in, please contact us at [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Orr Dunkelman, [EMAIL PROTECTED] a scientific man ought to have no wishes, no affections, -- a mere heart of stone - Charles Darwin.
