EGLUG - جنو لينكس مصر - حيث تأكل البطاريق الطعمية

Objection

Tue, 8 Jun 2004 12:44:57 +0000

Ok, I object to what is happening here. Trying to fix problems with IE not rendering the site correctly/stylesheet problems/logo problems/whatever SHOULD NOT BE DONE IN THE MAIN www/ DIRECTORY

Either have another installation somewhere else and play with it, then apply the changes to the main site, Or use a locally installed copy.

If the persons responcible for the site administration don't have GNU/Linux boxes, I can offer them shell access to my personal box.

Introducing the EOSBC to the Egyptian Linux Community

Tue, 8 Jun 2004 14:33:50 +0000

The LUG was recently contacted by an organization called the EOSBC with the aim of exploring possible cooperation.

I met the people responsible for the EOSBC last Tuesday and can report that the work they are doing is well aligned with the ideals we have in mind.

Mr. Enzo Pulliati is our contact person there, and I asked him to write a few introductory paragraphs for the linux community to get to know each other. Please read what Enzo has written below, and feel free to ask him any questions which might occur to you.

At the moment, I have written a draft of an action plan for promoting Linux and FOSS in Egypt, and you can find it here: FOSS Adoption in Egypt .

An Attempt at writing a simpler charter

An Attempt at writing a simpler charter

Rationale

The charter document should be read by each and every member at registration time, for this to be realistic it needs to be as simple and short as possible.

I suggest we take out some sections of the charter and make them into separate documents.

why, first of all its easier to agree on the broad ideas behind the charter, while a debate about what kind of speech is allowed might take forever.

in case of a strong disagreement the only way out is voting but the rules of voting are stated in the charter, we need a simple charter

moving to new host

Thu, 3 Jun 2004 16:26:04 +0000

The website will be down for a few minutes while we move it from http://eglug.manalaa.net to its realhome @ http://www.eglug.org

space for http://www.manalaa.net was generously provided for free by http://www.aza-group.com

the new home is donated by Alaa, Uniball, WhirlPool and MadFarmAnimalz.

in the future eglug should have an independant space and the cost should be shared by the members.

but we don't need to worry about that at the moment, this space is good for about 6 months.

cheers, Alaa

Challenges for the new website

Tue, 1 Jun 2004 16:11:55 +0000

To set up a website the way we described in the Wiki (we need to import this stuff here) there are some descisions we need to make, and some challenges facing us that may require coding or altering the way we work.

The real challanges are not in the CMS though, its in coming up with new guidelines and rules of governance.

sticky topics like posting guidelines, moderation guidelines, administration guidelines, who belongs to which user group and how to determine the criterea, how to avoid conflicts, how to encourage contribution etc.

I will stick to the drupal specific problems here, the rest needs a long dialogue.
