Hello,
Mohammed Eldosouki sent us a message about the results of the LAW 2001.
Participants in the workshop decided to establish a web portal for Arabic Linux,
featuring news about Arabization efforts, forums and a code repository. Although
that seems to describe Arabeyes.org, we are not sure as to what that involves
yet.
Dr. Ahmad Sharaf Eldin (Helwan University-Computer and Informatics College,
Egypt) was assigned the task of developing a unified Arabization dictionary.
Cairo University will be in charge of organizing the next workshop, and will
determine the dates.
Among the topics discussed are:
Ayman Hindam - Multi-Layer Arabization for Linux
Anas Tawileh -
Arabic language specials, and how to handle them when Arabizing Linux.
The necessity to unify the standards and terms of Arabizing Linux, and founding a
community to organize and implement those standards [about Arabeyes.org]
Unicode as a solution to Linux Arabization problems.
Dr. Ashraf Salem - A native X-Windows based Arabic toolkit
Dr. Ahmad Sharaf Eldin - Linux Localization
Saudi Linux User Group - delievered a variety of presentations of their utilities
(e.g. AlKatib) and their efforts in spreading Linux with educational and
governmental institutes.
Dr. Saleh Elshahaby and Ramy Hassan - NINJA (Ninja Is Not Just Arabization), a
project for providing multi-lingual support to Linux.
Dr. Ahmed Alolaimi - the MENA company and their Linux support in the region.
Shehab Rabie - Reviewed their efforts in Arabization, Cairo University.
