Hi Atif,
It's great to see someone interested in spreading FOSS in Education.
We have been mainly involved with university students of technical
disciplines with events such as install fests and technical sessions,
and we would definitely like to reach out to a broader audience.

So since you're more involved with the teaching of ICT to students,
how do you think open source software should be introduced in
education? And what do you think should be the role of user and
volunteer groups?

I'd definitely like to hear more from you.

Regards,
Mohammed

P.S: I have taken the liberty of posting this to OpenEgypt, which is a
community of individuals, NGOs, and other organizations involved with
open source evangelism and have recently been involved with the
government's open source efforts. I think their inputs and insights
would also be very valuable.
