last saturday while on my vacation I went with MohammedSammeer and Manal to Alex where we had a big EGLUG social gathering.

we met all of EGLUG Alex members except for OneOfOne who found out he was alergic to clean air and sunlight (the whole EGLUG alex population consists of DarknessWolf, LinuxAwy and Sherbo).

we had great fun at downtown alex which is not realy downtown alex, then at downtown alex wich is proper downtown alex, we found out alexandrian geeks don't know anything about their city and had to consult google in order to locate kadora, a net cafe, a coffee shop or even the sea (yes they did not know where the sea was).

in Kadora we did a quick demonstration of GNU/Linux for the wonderful folks there and gave them the EGLUg URL.

over Tea and Shisha the alex team complained about their small number and inability to do much activities, we agreed that the 3 of them (and hopefully OneOfOne when he gets a batmobile or something) should meet regularly and get to know each other more, get to dicuss FOSS more and maybe do simple tasks together and wait for inspiration.

We also agreed that they will try arrange and organize a seminar somewhere in Alex Univ.

The installfest venue was discussed again but without much hope at achieving anything :-(

anyway it was a fun night, hope we can do it again soon (6th of october is a potential).
