Linux Presentation Day in Israel

[Hauke Laging]

Hello,

I didn't plan to contact Israeli organizations for the next LPD event but 
Google has pointed out to me that you have already noticed.

Now the interesting question is whether you are just following the US 
conversation about it or whether anyone is really interested in organizing an 
event in Israel. If so then let me know and we might have a more direct 
communication in the future...

I cannot assess the chances but there might be an effect which would make 
starting this event in Israel easier than anywhere else. The LPD itself causes 
very little costs but as long as you are ignored by the (nationwide) media it 
should help a lot to have some money for advertising (which should also 
generate media attention for future events).

I assume that the German embassy in Israel (in contrast to those elsewhere) 
has a budget for supporting German activities which make a good impression. 
Probably none of the LPD visitors abroad notices or cares that the LPD was 
started in and is organized from Germany but if I ask the German state 
departement and you ask the German embassy for some financial support, who 
knows what happens... Maybe they would help in other ways, too (media 
contacts).


Best regards

(Mr.) Hauke Laging
