Hey there, Just a brief intro: I'm a scientist PhD and freelance writer interested in FLOSS and freedom of expression online at large. Some of you here may know me under @MaliciaRogue on Twitter (hey ya Samar :) ). Sorry for speaking English only, my Arabic remains limited to slang and very basic reading (yet).
Am currently writing a big piece on this story for Jadaliyya and will anyway continue to follow these developments for other outlets such as Global Voices Advocacy (where I coordinate and write a big part of the MENA Netizen Report <http://advocacy.globalvoicesonline.org/author/rayna-st/>). As former moderator of the French equivalent of slashdot (== LinuxFr.org), I can also pitch in there anytime I like it and at the length I like it :) Lastly, having being a board member of the biggest French-speaking NGO advocating in favour of free software and having worked as research associate with Unesco on Gender Equality in FLOSS, I'll be happy to help if you guys need input and feedback from elsewhere. France has other issues and Micro$oft's market monopoly is pretty scary here, so I have some experience in outreach and promotion. Hope this helps. Best wishes and Happy New Year :) Rayna 2012/12/31 Ahmad Gharbeia <gharb...@gmail.com> > أظن واجب علينا السعي لإقناع رؤساء أقسام التقنية في الصحف بمتابعة أخبار > المصادر المفتوحة عن قرب أكثر، و نفكّر ازاي ممكن نساعدهم في الوصول إلى > الأخبار و الترجمة، و بخاصة الأخبار المتعلقة بقطاعات الأعمال و الحكومات و > معدلات لاستخدام، ليس فقط الأخبار التقنية. و كذلك أخبار الشركات المصرية. > > مثلا: > > http://www.zdnet.com/topic-open-source > > أحمد غربية > -- "Change l'ordre du monde plutôt que tes désirs."
