Who We Are?
We consist mostly of Egyptians from all ages.
We are all GNU/Linux users and Free/Open Source Software enthusiasts. We are all volunteers.
Some of us only use GNU/Linux on their computers.
Some of us are computer professionals and students and some aren't. We have among us expert users and new users.
Why We Exist
Because we believe in the Free Software ideals, because we think Open Source makes sense.
Because we know GNU/Linux is a more powerful platform and we trust Open Source to produce better software.
Because we think Free/Open Source Software like GNU/Linux is better for Egypt.
We exist to help all GNU/Linux users, to aid the international Free Software community and to promote the use of Free/Open Source software in Egypt
