One of the things that is very important to me is to have a significant
Fedora event in Egypt sometime in the next 6-9 months.
I'd be curious to know from our Ambassadors in Egypt if there are any
large computer or open source events in Egypt that we can schedule
around.
I'd like to bring a large, multi-day Fedora Activity Day to Egypt, and
have something that we can build on in that part of EMEA year after
year.
