Al-Ahram Hebdo: Le Pingouin qui défie Microsoft
In his week's issue, the Al-Ahram Hebdo (Need to use Al-Ahram's internet service to be able to see the content.) published a story (direct link no need to use Al-Ahram service to see the content, Thank you google) about GNU/Linux in its Economie section. An automated translation is here(Oh, google I love you, the automated translation is almost intelligent translation.)
That is me, in red, giving the second Eglug's GNU/Linux course in Sakia.
Arab Open University to use FOSS

The Arab Open University approves the regional utilization of the Open-Source LMS: Moodle
The Arab Open University approved the official utilization of the "open-source" learning management system, called Moodle, in all six branches throughout Arab states.
The UNESCO Cairo Office (CI) played an instrumental role in this selection and will continue its support to the AOU during the coming deployment phase.

Arabeyes party !

#arabeyes @ irc.freenode.net
Arabeyes guys be having an Evolution* party on #arabeyes.
From Arabeyes.org:
We've invited a number of key developers, movers and shakers in the open source Arabic arena to hear them talk (a Question and Answer session to follow).
The event will be full of stars from Mandrake, Trolltech/QT, Gnome, Wine, OpenOffice, Debian-boot and Arabeyes. And ofcourse some Arabic LUGs like Lebanon LUG and Saudi LUG.
Eglug will have a 30 minutes presentation too and Q&A space for us on 1600 -> 1630 (Cairo Time)
Here is the 'preliminary schedule' of the event:
phaeronix installed in SAKIA!
Now you can test the first from scratch egyptian distro brought to you by true eglug veteran phaeronix. Okay maybe not veteran. But IT IS installed there go and find it in one or two of the boot menus, boot it and try it.
Then drop me message saying if you liked it, or it was bad etc...
Remember it's still beta, and oh don't try urpmi, apt-get or any other auto stuff, cuz there just ain't any. If you know hoe to compile the source, if you don't tell me and I'll see what can I do.
