Dear all it`s a great pleasure to announce that the Creative Commons iftar project that was born on this very list less than a month ago will finally kick off next week! The first CC Iftar has been organized for next 2nd of Sept Please see all the information and how to join the event here below: http://arabic.creativecommons.org/page/dubai Amman will follow on the 4th, Damascus on the 5th and Cairo on the 7th Each team has got a city page here http://arabic.creativecommons.org/cciftar which will be filled up with information in the next days so stay tuned and learn how to join each iftar! For those who are wondering why their city it`s not on the list, I`d like to say that the CC Iftar event is self-organized and community based. All these 4 cities have got a self organized team of volunteers who have done all the work, so if your city is not on that list it`s just because maybe there is no CC community there, or not strong enough to support such an organizational effort, or maybe it`s just because people were busy or on holidays:) Next year, inshallah, we`ll have more cities joining. Stay tuned! If the event is successful, we`ll try to repeat next year inshallah. Just waiting for your feedback!
