I suggest that we cancel Jolug totally and join Jordan opensource association. And try to help them to be registered officially. Actually there are many sub groups and projects that need to be canceled. The problem in these project is they don't help soving the current problem of linux (which is spreading linux) but they are technical project or small groups.
We need to unite, concentrate, avoid technical issues,show up in the media and events, not just to make sites that are hardly understood and only visited by those who already use linux. 2010/6/13 Abdallah <[email protected]> > Assalam Alaikum wr wb All > > Good to hear from you all again.
