visp sponsors lebgeeks ? :P
Nope, like Nuclearcat already pointed out. However, Denys has been here for 6 years helping out VISP customers and other members alike.

As for this Sunday, I'm (most likely) free in the evening, so count me in :)
Hi there,
I'm interested by the idea of a shared office in Zalka (or around). But I'm not here this week-end to come discuss about it.

Also, just to add my 2 cents, considering moving out of Lebanon only for the internet connection is bad arithmetic arithma ;-)

OK, in Lebanon HDSL costs 200$ and you can have the same thing in Europe for 30$.
But in Europe, you'll then give 50% of your revenues as tax, whereas in Lebanon (for a small business) it's only 5%
So unless you earn less than 400$/month, you can pay the price of an expensive internet connection and still make more money... (and I didn't count the additional 500$ you'll have to pay to rent an apartment in Europe, among other things)

As a freelance, I can make a living with my little business in Lebanon, but it would have been impossible in France.
So, how much people coming? So i prepare things (chairs mostly and etc :-))) )
Will try to make today evening some guide on google earth...
Count me as #2. After you nc.
lets see the place and timing and ill decide. :)
I will be there at Sunday from 1-2pm.
Tomorrow i will give also here phone N to call me, in case u are lost.

We've been through this in another thread, and there are a lot of variables to take into account.
I guess this is a no go for me. I wanted it an all-nighter for many reasons. First of which is that I have a deadline and wanted to cram it before I go at night.
I am truly sorry I can't make it.
Perhaps when Jeko is there, we can fix up another meeting.
Well, at any case this time we just discuss future plans and try to do simple things.

I am at the place, so anyone wants - call me.
Leaving place... seems only rolf came. I will try to organize things better next time.
