Re: FOSS and development conference in Cairo

[Rai'da Al-Zu3bi <raida_lists at yahoo dot com>]

Marhaba Ala'a.  Thanks for this, I had already forwarded the below to Arabeyes, as it's very exciting event. 

 

I will try my best to attend the event next week (I'll be coming from Jordan inshallah).  Can you help me locate (offlist) a hotel near the event location that's decently priced? 

 

If I do attend, I'm happy to help out "wo/man" the Arabeyes booth the last day.  However, as I'm still new to the group, there needs to be a veteran Arabeyes member there. 

 

Thanks,

R
