Cairo University event

[Ahmed Toulan]

Hi,

Don't worry about it, we will resort to plan B isA. We had some
discussions about separating release parties from install fests.
We will have release parties near every release as it is supposed
to be, and it should be held in some public place like El Azhar
park or a coffee shop. We are supposed to go out in such event
with our Ubuntu-eg T-Shirts with some CDs and distribute them. We
will also advertise such event to have people willing to meet us
come and introduce themselves or get the help that they want.
It should be considered as a team outing after all.

Release parties should be in mid year vacation or the summer
vacation.

So what do u guys think ? If there are no objections, I suggest it
to be Saturday 30th of October and we will decide the place here
 on the mailing list.

Best regards,
Ahmed Toulan.
