[Ambassadors] Re: Is it possible for Fedora developers to visit Egypt?

[Ahmed El Gamil]

I think discussing that issue with the rest of the local ambassadors in
Egypt would have been a much greater idea than starting the discussion about
that specific point here.

Egypt Ambassadors are the only group who knows Egypt's current technology
trends, their events planning abilities, what kind of financials do we need
and what kind of topics can be put in a Fedora event agenda and also as
Maria mentioned companies/associations who can sponsor such an event.

With the high degree of Technical skills acquired by most people working on
IT-Related fields here in Egypt and also the passion of less-technical ones
to open source technologies, i guess such an event will make a huge buzz
here as the other events done before did.

I can definitely help in planning and organizing such an event and more than
open for more meetings and discussions about the whole thing.

Thanks in advance.
