thanks Mohamed i suggest to work as open movement , that we should work parallel Plan
- top-> down, - Government i believe that what should open egypt focus on it, open egypt now have a lot of open source experts more that any organization or communities, ... Government will not listen to volunteers or depend on their work.... they need Open egypt and that exactly happen now ... after our last movement - Universities -Top >down- and down>top can we organize meeting or presentation with all department managers at (Universities - specifically faculty of engineering and cis Hassebat ) to present the value of Open source to Egypt and Case Studies , ... etc *Who's can do that ? * we should do everything with our-self the main goal of this to inspire who's already have open source mind from universities professors to take action ... that may be talk about make open source mandatory at some departments some Egyptian Universities *can Add it to Open Egypt Agenda ?* - Bottom->Up, that what try ubuntu eg do it, we try to spreed ubuntu to students at faculty of engineering and cis Hassebat and spreed ubuntu to normal users everywhere, online and offline - mandatory, i don't believe this strategy.. this Free Software , and our philosophy do make it free to learn what they want - collaborative, that we already start doing at .. this week at Cairo university ... EgJug and Ubuntu eg and fedora Community will make one event called Open mind https://www.facebook.com/events/481542855215492/481825581853886/ Notes : http://itwadi.com/node/2492 http://www.simplyubuntu.com/ i want to print this book and another open source books ... how can you help at this and welcome at our team ------------------------------ أنس عماد الدين فريق قفير http://www.qafeer.com On Thu, Feb 21, 2013 at 2:59 PM, <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi there, > > I have recently joined the group, after learning about it from Ahmed > Mekkawy.
