[advocacy-discuss] New OSUG in Cairo Egypt

[Ahmed Kamal]

Hi everyone,

I would like to start an opensolaris user group for Cairo/Egypt. I see Egypt
does not have one, and even the rest of the Arabic speaking world does not
yet! I have been a Linux user for a decade and have contributed a few things
along with technical support. My fedora personal page is:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/AhmedKamal. Recently though I have been drawn
to osol due to zfs and dtrace. My current employer (www.aserver.com) also
uses a lot of osol to build our virtualization stack.

OSUG Details
-Name: Egypt OSUG (egosug)
-Initial Members: It will start with me (kim0) and my co-worker Ahmed
Abdallah (abd4lla). However, I am positive I can easily get around 10
friends signed once I tell them about the OSUG
-The activities will be online discussions, a few meetings per year. Giving
out CDs and helping new osol users in the region with technical issues,
especially if they need local language support

Can someone please let me know what's the next step should my request be
approved. Is it possible to ship some CDs perhaps to start giving away.

Thank you
