<div dir="ltr">Hello, I can say it would be better to wait until we have a good number of active groups and individuals from arabic countries before going into a "federal" team. We tried last year with not much success. I wrote to every Arabic loco team leader in a first step then to every Arabic list at <a href="http://lists.ubuntu.com" target="_blank">lists.ubuntu.com</a> with a very few responses and zero action. In addition, the active people from Arabic countries now are either English or French speaking with lesser interest in Arabic content. For these reasons, we tried also to have ubuntu-arabic as a source of support more than a social team. With a dedicated server we offered hosting, IRC bots and others services that some literally refused. That was pretty discouraging. Money and time were spent for nothing. As almost nothing changed since last year, the big team is not for today I think. If things changes, there will be a spontaneous need for an ubuntu-arabic team. Regards, -- Rafik </div>
