Let's talk about the event it self before we talk about the meeting, it is a two week event that is intended to start at 1st September 2009. The event targets every one, its main goal is not only to introduce Free Software to people but also to give them the real life experience gained by others who started using Free Software and joined Open Source communities along ago.

The Event will mainly consist of presentations and demos covering wide range of topics,
stands providing on site information and installtion, study groups and contests along with other things, so it seems that we have lots of things to do in the coming month, and you have the chance to enjoy two weeks of Free Software Mania.

Back to the meeting, it lasted for about two hours and was started by each one introducing him / her self, then Ahmed Saeed who is the head of coordination team told us everything about the event and explained to us the tasks we should be doing for the coming month. Teams were created and will be led by four coordinators: Ahmed Abd Al Aziz, Asmaa El Sayed, Yasmin Mohammed and Abd Rahman Gamal who all have previous experience in organizing many similar events.
