ideas

[Ahmed Toulan]

Thanx Jonathan for your enthusiasm, that's what we need actually. From my
side I contacted both ofoqNGO and Resala to host our courses for free. They
both said that they will contact me soon, but I didn't receive anything from
them until now. About your suggestions/questions please find my comments
after each point.

I am sorry I wasn't available that much these days, but I am actually trying
to finish my thesis.

What do u need from us to make this happen ? Do you plan on doing it by
yourself ? We can actually create some place in the wiki pages about "Who
uses ubuntu in Egypt". Expanding this list should be a primary goal.

I don't think that we can sell anything to anyone, you can think of us as an
NGO. We can receive contributions and stuff like that. Although I am very
sure about this since we are not an actual entity. Please guys correct me if
I am wrong about this.

I am actually voting for this point strongly since this is one of the main
reasons we created the facebook group. More communication + more info about
Ubuntu. But please take care that Ramadan is coming next Friday or Saturday
and people will have little time for contributions.

Last thing Mahmoud Mohammed Mahmoud contacted me on facebook and said that
he will try to organize a 2 day event at Cairo University. Please Mahmoud,
if you're still following this mailing-list, tell us more about where we are
in this event plan.
