Salam, So, the Emirates University Student Assocication had this 'seminar' organized with coordination with the UAE LUG. The LUG are the folks who invited Arabeyes to do a presentation. So I went to do the presentation and waited for a good hour and a half without any sight of a single person responsible for the event. There were posteres plastered all over the place. There was a doctor (not an MD) who was supposed to give the primary presentation followed by mine. He didn't show up either. The UAE LUG guy (our contact person) couldn't make it to the place. He tried! It was just difficult to find the place and he kept driving around trying to find it. We never met. I was lucky to have a friend who lived in Al Ain (a small village-like city in Abu Dhabi -- very beautiful place). In any case, it was disappointing -- not so much the time I spent preparing and driving and getting speeding tickets on the way.. but that such events go up in smoke -- the next time they want to hold such an event, who's going to show up, with this kind of history? Oh well, I tried ;) Regards -- ------------------------------------------------------- | Mohammed Elzubeir | Visit us at: | | | http://www.arabeyes.org/ | | Arabeyes Project | Homepage: | | Unix the 'right' way | http://elzubeir.fakkir.net/ | -------------------------------------------------------
