Well Mohammed .. There is no date .. we decided to have non stoping 
correspondance in between to set such event .. I guess it will be in the near 
future ( 2 months) ..

what do you mean by a web-conference ?

Well they are aware of Linux .. infact all the servers of the Emirates Media 
Inc. ( www.emi.co.ae ) are Linux servers .. 

They asked me about how we liked the program .. and asked about what they can 
do ... from what I said that a demonstration for Arabic running Linux would 
be great .. it wil help removing the stereotype that Linux does not have 
Arabic support .. they were as well surprised with the level of support for 
Arabic Linux has ..

what need to be done with them is to again tell about Linux in general, and 
it's advantages, then to tell about Arabic in Linux .. I feel good about it..
