Arabeyes Evolution Party 2004

[nadim at arabeyes dot org (Nadim Shaikli)]

Salam,

You are cordially invited to Arabeyes.org's third annual Evolution
Party to be held on July 29th on IRC (it was on that date in 2001
that Arabeyes (the Arabic Open Source Meta-project) evolved and
mutated to its current form).

On the 29th of July, Arabeyes.org will not only be celebrating
this momentous occasion but will continue its result-oriented
focus and educational emphasis by hosting a "learn as you play"
IRC session.  We are thus planning on giving various important
individuals a 30-minute slot which we'd like to dedicate
completely to their project/work and various issues as they
relate to Arabic.

Below is the list of people who are expected (additional presenters
may be added).  The schedule is not set in stone and so it would be
wise to check Arabeyes.org's homepage often.
