Good News, New Event

Fri Apr 22 18:35:22 UTC 2011

Please make it the 21st. I will be in Egypt at that point from the 14th -
30th of May.

But a question... What are you guys marketing? Ubuntu? Open-Source? What
about other competing solutions such as SuSE etc? Will you introduce
alternatives?

I would like to help where I can... I am an Ubuntu and GNOME Foundation
member and have been using Ubuntu since October 2004.
Since I will be at the Ubuntu Developer Summit in Budapest right before
coming to egypt, I can try to get us some CDs from there.

Also if you are ok with it I could give a talk/presentation about, "How to
initiate and run a successful open-source project", based on founding the
leading Zeitgeist project that is not shipped with every Ubuntu CD.

If possible can you guys give me more info about the event so I can blog
about it (my blog is syndicated on planet.ubuntu.com and
planet.gnome.organd I am a guest writer at
omgubuntu.co.uk)

Cheers
Seif
