At last Software Freedom Day (SFD) has started !! to day we the organizing team went to college early to prepare thing, we had to get tables, stands and chairs, we also prepared registration lists and hanged the posters. The great thing that people came early and they were excited, actually the number was larger than we expected, we had about 500 registration and about 300 people showed up today, some of them were registered but some made on-site registration.
The day started with an opening that was delivered by Eng.Hamdy Khalil from eSpace, he explained what is Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) and everyone liked it, then they had a 30 minute break to get the program, register their attends and claim their prizes: bags, CDs and pens.
At 12:30, Eng.Mekkawy also known as linuxawy from EGLUG started his session about the Free Software explaining the Main Four Freedoms, he also gave them his email and asked their questions.
Well after that people made some inquiries at the stands and registered for the study groups which actually have so many registered attendees (almost everyone!!).
If you haven't been there today, you missed alot but don't worry you still can come and join us even if you haven't yet registered.
