Thank you,
I will be happy to have a video projector as I will prepare a
presentation (LibreOffice presentation) and probably show some
examples of Linux software in Hebrew.
I will bring my netbook (running Ubuntu 11.04) I guess it would not be
a problem to connect it to the projector.
As for the description in the wiki I would like something like:
‎Topic: Linux Development and Linux groups in Israel
Description:
Israel as a leading in HiTech industry includes evolving groups of Linux Users.
These groups have to deal with exceptional and unique needs which are
relevant to this area.
In this talk I will speak about LUG's in Israel and their activities.
A little bit about the history of Linux in Israel.
I will also explain about the Hebrew language and the challenge it
introduces to both software and websites.
