Dear Sherine,

Actually it means that you work to convince those to open source their work. Otherwise I'm not against anyone who is interested in getting to know other technologies, but I see this totally off topic for this mailing list.

Thanks,

Dear All,
We are all technology specialists and I think it is good to attend and know more. Afterwards, we have the option to tell them that they should support open source philosophy OR we can tell them that we are not interested in your work unless it is open source.
Anyway, I would like to attend ....who knows....we may do something good to them.
All my Regards

OFFtopic, I agree with Mekkawy

Guys, this is a SIG (Special Interest Group) where any post not related to Free Open Source software is not welcomed.

Here we should be talking only about : Free Open Source Software and all the means that will allows us to establish OpenEgypt to promote Free and Open Source software .

I agree with Mekkawy, and partially agree with Fassail as we are not general geeks :)
We don't want our mailing list to be like our facebook group where the relevant content are few posts.
