thanks Randah and everybody else for the suggestions sure, we can do this also on the base of "bring your ramadan dish and share with others" the sponsors idea was also in order to raise some money for future local activities of the chapters as workshops, conferences, courses, etc but of course we can do without we just need cool locations and cool people of course:) I suggest we start forming teams according to each country and city, so we can group all the people interested working on this in amman, in damascus, etc can I have all of you sending me this pls? it wwould be also good if we can have the volunteers stating in which role they would like to help (i.e. find a location, promote the event, decide what to share during the event, cook:) etc) I think we also need a wiki, a little bit like the one we have for CC Salon so we could map which city is doing what see as an example http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Salon any volunteer among our great techies to do this? :) I think this can be a very cool event and I`m looking forward to seeing many different arab cities joining inshallah pls let me know asap as Ramadan is kind of close shukran w salam dona
