Gathering all the initiatives !!!

[Mahmoud Fawzy]

@Samar,

Unfortunately, I think Ahmed and Osama are right. However, I don't want to
put you down, but I've had an experience with talking to a facebook group
that had a *generic* name about  Egypt and open source, I've removed  some
names not to be insulting anyone though :D,
here is what was said in the conversation, it dates back to 16 Jan 2011 :)
--again, this is not meant to be putting you down and it
doesn't necessarily reflect how all other communities think, however it
gives a basic image of what you are up to, so that you can prepare your self
:D

:) ..... simply they are all different and all think that they can't merge
with others not to loose their focus :)
