Proposals

Detailed Proposal


if you:

	* Got tired of your computer becoming slow over time and freezing every now and thenand 
	* Can't stop viruses and attacks on your computer.
	* Find the software and the system you use more expensive than the hardware.
	* Don't trust the software you use because you can't really discover how it works.
             * Want to discover new and better things.

Then we definitely have a solution for you:
We will offer you Linux on your computer along with windows if you still want to keep it.
 
 --> But I don't know if I'll like this "so called" Linux or not!
Well, we can leave your windows as it is and install Linux beside it and you are free to use both as you want.

 --> Oh yeah! I tried this thing before and it didn't properly work on my machine!
You can still bring along your machine and we will troubleshoot it for you. We DO HAVE experts here!
 
 --> Ok, but tell me how much do I have to pay ?
Honestly, you'll only pay for your transportation. We can't drop by everyone's home!
 
 --> But if it's really free, then it must be really bad.
No, it's not! In fact, we strongly believe it's the best. It's just that Linux people believe in freedom and in open source. Imagine that you are using a system that's being edited and fixed by millions of people around the world.
 
 --> Yeah, and none of them added a spyware in it? Impossible!
Don't worry, edits don't get applied before getting checked several times first. Plus, who's going to add a virus knowing that millions of people can read the code?
 
 --> Hmmm...Who are you anyway?
We are the Eglug members.
 
 --> Eg-what?
Eglug. the postfix 'lug' stands for "Linux User Group". We are an Egyptian group that believed in Linux and open source and decided to tell everyone else about it.
You can read more about us here http://eglug.org/about.
 
 --> Ok, so when and where can I find you to get my own Linux?
Our install festival is taking place next Monday 9/3/2009 from 10:00 am till 6:00 pm in ITI:
1 Mahmoud Said St., Shohada Square, Main Post Office Building, Alexandria. Floors 11, 12, 13
 
You'll find us there installing systems and giving a bunch of useful sessions for those who want to learn more. We are looking forward to see you all there. and feel free to invite anyone :)..

Ghada, I have only two

Ghada, I have only two comments about the edits you made to the english proposal:

  • First, I meant to write "Windows system" instead of "operating system" because a lot of people out there don't know what an operating system is and don't know that it's possible to have a computer that has no windows on it!
  • Second, there's no need to write "stupid system", I find it stupid and always call it so when I'm talking to my friends but that doesn't mean we should write it in the proposal. Let us be the bigger ones and not attack the other "proprietary systems", all we want to do is tell everyone that we have a much a better system here!

I support Michael in these

I support Michael in these two comments, but I think we should call it "Microsoft Windows Operating System", to give the people a wider expression about that, this is just my viewpoint anyway :)

Ghada's picture

I agree to write Windows

  • I agree to write Windows as well .. but as i told u before.. I did so considering the opinion of the guys on the meeting's day .. not my own
  • I know :D.. but I was sleepy and read "Windows" "Windows" "Windows" .. so just spoke up :D..

I agree that isnt suitable
