Re: Linux spam on wikipedia.
Quoting Ira Abramov, from the post of Sun, 15 Feb: If anyone asks you about Jaya, The Linux Group, Miky Barzilay or the little community conference he's organizing, just give them a heads up. It may be a legitimate, professional business, but the guy practices dirty marketing, so he's got a black point in my book. My mistake everyone. false alarm. It's the good old linux-israel.net site with a new design. -- Thanking and leaving Yeruham Ira Abramov http://ira.abramov.org/email/ ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
Linux spam on wikipedia.
FYI and FWIMC, I just removed two links from the Hebrew Wikipedia article Linux that pointed to a little consultancy firm called Jaya who seems to be all into SAP and hates RHAT for some odd reason. The website seems two weeks old, based on the Forum entries. Times are tough, competition is fearce, but spamming is not an option.

BTW, his links box hints he's cooperating with Hamakor, What'sup, Penguin, IGLU and others. umm -- Barman!

Re: Linux spam on wikipedia.
Here is what they posted about two weeks ago - http://whatsup.org.il/modules.php?op=modloadname=Newsfile=articlesid=6258 Jaya is the same of linux-israel. Don't look too confused, I don't know anyone who is using their website, but seems that someone actually using their services. Still, I am agreeing with you that they should not place link to thier website in Wikipedia unless it is really worth it. P.S., exteranl links in Wikipedia are always nofollow'ed. Tomer.
