Alex course was 5 days.

We'll work something out
I think 5 days course can be done in three weekends, waddya think about that?
I think that's OK. A rough e
I think that's OK. A rough estimation, If you can get 1 PC for each person it'd be better. But if you can't, Then IMHO not more than 2 persons should work on the same PC.
BTW: How many people do yu think'll attend that course ?

I think that's nice. I'm nt really sure whether we'll be using mandrake official or the Mandrake CDs alaa used to build for the courses. I don't think we'll need to print something. I can print the notes if we'll be having notes then we can photocopy it.
I don't know! I didn't give a beginners course before, I only gave the command line part for the new vision volunteers and they started to scream :-)
OK, Ezabi ?

Fine
Next thing will be the dates; March weekends are out for me, so we should think of beginning of April, also depending on Mohammed Sameer's schedule.
delay is not good
I think if you have like 12 candidates for the course . it will be nice to determine what is the aim of the course .if this course will be something like beginner course with some deep technicals or they are just desktop users (who aren't interested on details and CLI )..
i gave 2 gnu/Linux beginner courses ,on first one I found some of them used Linux and some others using DOS for long time. they asked from me to make the beginners course + Command line session . it was great the course was heavy and they were interested . i tried it on the second course but they were saying "should we understand this to make GNU/Linux work" then i start the real beginners courses.
on both cases i think it will be so hard to explain on one day only
the beginners courses could be compressed on 2 session .and it will be fair for the volunteers and also for candidates ,they will wait for the volunteers one week .they may forget what they learned. on compressed course it will be good as 6 maximum candidates .
if volunteer afford to gave other course. it will be for the remaining 6 candidates. and we can take the feedback/questions form the people who learned through the first course.
if they were interested to know more ,they could take a command line session on their place.
if you divide them into tow groups ,it will be easy to determine which group needs more details and which need focusing on desktop usage.

A word
Now the arrangement will be as follows:
It would be great if you could attend any day during the conference so you cen get to meet the people and have an idea about how things are going.
morning
morning conference time will be very hectic, nly a few of us can leave work/school to be in the hotel and we'll be busy preparing, not a good time to meet.
if you want to meet the group the best time is to attend a saturday gathering (from 3pm to 7pm).
just make sure to mention that you are coming so the volunteers involved in your project ye3mela 7esabhom
the hotel is Helnan Shepheard, its in Tahrir by the nile, directly beside Semiramis Hotel, its very famous and difficult to miss.

you should find your suitable
you should find your suitable alternatives yourself cause no one know what do you want to do ?and what is your exact requirement for the applications. if you could not find something you can ask about them on a new thread to let other people help you ,and for whom needs a question to find the answer easily.

Compile the source!!!
we have for the course a customized mandrake on two cds. it has the most programs that users ask for.(codex ,Arabic fonts, etc).
users may never have to compile a program.you will see at course isa :),it is even easiest than add/remove .

Mr.Ezaby????
Guys, is there anyone in the LUG called Mr.Ezaby???? About the "Ketab linux el shamel", I know nothing about it so I cannot judge it, but I don't think there's a "shamel" book about linux yet, forget it.
