Linux course in Alexandria, AIT
It all started 3 days ago, when linuxawy was showing Abdallah - his neighbour - Mandrake 10.1 with xfce4 desktop. Abdallah was interested, being a former windows user - he loved the eye candy without the sluggishness of windows. linuxawy wanted to impress him more, so he showed him phaeronix 0.77. He got really impressed by the concept of LiveCDs. It was the first time he'd seen a real linux system in action.
Abdallah was full of enthusiasm, linuxawy told him about eglug's activities so he wanted to help. Abdallah is an engineering student, 4th year in AIT (Alexandria Institute of Technology). He talked with Dr. Ayman Shawky (head of continuing education & training center), who got interested about the whole thing.
The following day, the 3 of us (ShErbO, Linuxawy & Abdallah) went to AIT. Abdallah introduced us to Dr. Ayman, who was friendly and hospitable. We told him a little about FOSS, concentrating on the GNU/Linux O/S while showing some key points in the GPL license. We also told him about eglug and spoke to him about the various LUG activites.
We asked him if we could hold a seminar about Linux, but he told us we'd rather arrange a short introductory course straight ahead, to get interested people to attend. He asked us to prepare the course schedule, and a banner ad to announce the course. All he needed was permission from the dean. He'd allow us access to one of the computer labs for the few days of this short course.
Dr. Ayman is now awaiting our course schedule to discuss it with the management. We're now in a hurry to get the whole thing done before Ramadan, more importantly before the computer lab gets busy with other courses. We'll do our best.
ShErbO, linuxawy & DarKneSs_WolF will be teaching, it's going to be a 3-day 2-hour course.
! Our suggested course outline: Day 1: Intro + Installation.
