SFD: Let The Party Begin ...

This post is one of the series intended for the Software Freedom Day event in Alexandria University,Egypt ,organized by Software Freedom Day@Alexandria University team.

Yesterday, September the 1st , was the first day in Software Freedom Day@Alexandria University.
The day started early for me in order to participate in organization tasks.
After some time, the Keynote session presented by eng.\ Hamdy Khalil from eSpace started.Unfortunately i missed it :(.

However, i was rewarded by seeing the large number of people who were registering and standing in front of our desks. I don't know exactly how many but i estimate they reached 200. It was really an amazing feeling to see all of these people who came for something you've been working on and organizing for considerably a long time.

Afterwards, it was the 2nd session presented by eng.\ Ahmed Mekkawy (known as linuxawy from EGLUG and linux admin at eSpace ) . He talked about the philosophy of Open Source Software and the 4 Software Freedoms.

We're just starting the party. Study groups will begin in the next few days, more amazing sessions are coming and lots more ...
