<div dir="ltr">Hi All- RootSpace works to promote tech/innovation and entrepreneurship... especially social innovation and social entrepreneurship. Open source is a big part of that, hence the OpenSesame BarCamp we organized at the end of February, and the current OpenSesame initiative. We are working to organize workshops/etc around several core open source tools (plus social media and collaboration tools, even though they are not all open source, they are free and "open"). Current focus on Linux, Drupal, Wordpress, open source project management tools, hardware hacking, desktop tools (like OpenOffice), and phone/PBX (like Asterisk/Elastix)... interest is both to improve the coder/developer community as relates to these tools, and also improve community awareness from the part of potential users (business, organizations, individuals) from the non-coder side... I tried to connect with some Linux groups last year, but didn't have much luck getting things going... I'm excited that you folks are getting active/involved in Lebs, and look forward to seeing if there are some ways we can collaborate or coordinate...

We will meet with them, exchange ideas and work together towards the next step of both Ubuntu and Open Source in lebanon as all. I think it will be a very good step for both teams to join forces and work together for a better representation in lebanon. The meeting will be held on Friday, the 24th, at 7PM. They suggested the meeting would be at their RootSpace HQ in DownTown. If anyone have a problem with that we can talk to them and maybe find a better place :) I hope that all of you would be able to attend.
