[20:13] alhamdl ALLAH [20:13] I have something about Mansoura branch - anyone on the channel here from Mansoura? so we continue discussion here, or shall we move to private chat? [20:14] it is an open discussion, anyone can join - it is just related to Mansoura [20:14] no problem, please continue [20:14] ok, no problem [20:14] it's the main use of this channel [20:14] :) [20:15] ok [20:15] thanks :-) [20:15] there is a group in Mansoura: DevMix [20:16] yes, what about it [20:16] https://www.facebook.com/pages/DevMix-Official-Page/175397139186742 [20:16] Mainly students in Faculty of Computers, Mix of .net and Open Source developers, mentored by Medhat Dawoud [20:17] coool [20:17] they are arranging an Open Source event in Mid-year vacation [20:17] ah [20:17] and they are asking for ubuntu-eg attendance, support, kind of sessions we give, etc. [20:17] very good [20:18] I asked them to tell me the expected date of the event so we get ready [20:18] I believe they are targeting vacation, usually they arrange events in El-Hawar Club ( the same as Open Source Day) [20:18] they are thinking about Circles and Discussions [20:18] all this is good, right? [20:19] for sure [20:19] alhamdl ALLAH [20:19] mmmm [20:19] now, let's move to what... I think we might start working on [20:19] since it's your untiative [20:19] I wold like to ask you to send a msg with this to the ml [20:19] mailinglist* [20:20] so we can announce it to other members in the region [20:20] well, let's chit chat here first, then I will mail it [20:20] and see if some persons from cairo want to join [20:20] coooo [20:20] cool* [20:20] so, what is the "what"? [20:20] actually, they came to me, as they are students in fci, and I teach there, and asked if I can connect them to ubuntu [20:21] and they are contacting sponsors [20:21] so I thought, we need to meet, to formalize 2 things: [20:21] I'm ready [20:21] 1 - formal way for any community in egypt to reach ubuntu-eg and ask for support [20:21] even if ppl don't know us, we need to have an online form, any community can fill [20:22] we have such a think in Mozilla [20:22] let me search for it [20:22] very good point [20:22] me too think so [20:24] I will search for it later, will try to include that in the email inchallah [20:24] so, I guess this is no. 1 [20:24] so, we identify types of support we can provide, topics we can present, etc. in a more formal way [20:24] and the 2nd thing is: we need to identify the way of our prescence and the sponsorship [20:25] wooohooo [20:25] yes plz [20:25] like, having ubuntu-eg in an event - devmix is requesting sponsorship from companies based on our presence, this is gr8 for them [20:25] but for us!!! [20:26] we will be there, giving the sessions, yes [20:26] they will be there, arranging the event, yes [20:26] this is type of win-win event [20:26] yes [20:26] however, we need to sit and identify how we will present ubuntu-eg [20:26] t-shirts, mugs, pens, etc. [20:27] enta fahem qasde? and if they agree to our conditions, that would be ok [20:27] if not... [20:27] but the thing now, we don't have terms and conditions aslan [20:27] yes we have not [20:27] so any thing is correct [20:28] don't worry about this [20:28] but if we're going to sponsor this ourselves [20:28] this is going to cost a lot [20:28] you know, a t-shirt is 50 egp [20:28] a mug is ~30-70 [20:28] and so [20:29] so what you think? [20:29] :) ok, so I will be requesting a proposal from them, and once I receive this, I will post it to the mailing list [20:29] I am not sure how much money they have raised in the sponsorship [20:29] proposal of sposorship? [20:29] sponsorship* [20:29] no, a proposal of the whole day [20:29] a proposal to be sent to ubuntu-eg [20:29] yeppers [20:30] actually, I don't like the idea of being invited to an event without knowing how it is organized, how much is raised, and other details [20:30] I might be over acting, not sure... [20:30] but [20:30] you're not over acting [20:30] after different events I have arranged and attended, I need to know where I am pushing the community name into [20:30] true [20:31] so we need to meet up [20:31] Ok, I will divide this into 2 phases: first, once I receive the proposal, I will forward it to the mailing list [20:31] and later, inchallah we will raise the standardization issue :) [20:31] I think we'll do it [20:31] anytime Ahmed, U know we want to meet just to hang-out :) [20:32] cool, sure [20:32] ok [20:32] so you want me to come to meet them?
