<div dir="ltr">Hello ambassadors,
<div>Good morning from Egypt :)<br>
<div>Two days ago the government here in Egypt anunced a deal
with Microsoft , with 43M$</div>
<div>All opensource communities and activists in Egypt started
to move and act to stop that deal or at least limit It's
effect</div>
<div>We organized a stand (1) In front of the prime minister's
office (2)(3)</div>
<div>Ahmed Mekkawy(4)(5) (OpenEgypt(6) member and Opensource
Activist) arranged a meeting with the minister of
communications in Egypt who's in charge of almost anything
related to IT field in the government </div>
<div>Nadeen(7) and I attended the meeting as Fedora
Community Ambassadors </div>
<div>There has been other communities in the meeting
(Ubuntu(8), Adf(9) and others )</div>
<div>We've talked about many things but the results was not as
expected, they are still continuing with the deal as it</div>
<div>But they promised there'll be a commitment to open
source in the upcoming projects, also they said there will
be other meetings </div>
<div>People in the street started to ask "What's opensource?
why ?" , That's a great achievement for us </div>
<div>As I said this is not our last move<br>
</div>
