Israeli FLOSS & high school robotics articles for GNOME Journal

[Sumana Harihareswara <sumanah panix com>]

Editor-in-chief Paul says:

"I think either article is a great idea.  I'm intrigued how he's using
GNOME stuff for a competitive edge in his high school robotics team."

So, Natan, either article is great.  Since you already have done the 
robotics work, perhaps you could write that article for the May 10th 
deadline, and write about the Israeli FLOSS scene for the next issue?  Let 
me know if you can commit to one and/or the other.

Best,
Sumana
