I would go with "arabeyes.org - the first Open Source Arab project";
it mentions our name, it mentions open source and it seems all encompassing.

Treat it as though its a Resume/CV but without all the details; note all
your accomplishments and what you have done and what you helped bring
forth.  I was also thinking that it would be nice to describe how 'core'
functions to the people post the presentation (if there was time) and to
let them know that all our decisions are available online as is our full
correspondance.  Isam, I highly suggest writing all those things (topics)
on a piece of paper and walking through them - and also STRESS the need
for you to practive out-loud in front of people for you to see how things
flow (a mirror would do as a start - no kidding).

Salam and I hope that helped.

 - Nadim
