Re: Cairo Univ Linux User Group

[Ahmad Tarek <ahmadtarek at link dot net>]

Great note Ahmad... But we already made contacts with linux-egypt to 
unit efforts. We will begin our real presence in the festival.

as you can see our group try to take benefits of founding inside a univ. 
where you can see Prof's and contact with them... also where you can 
make courses and distribute easier than any place.

Do you have any ideas?!!
