Arab Open University to use FOSS

The Arab Open University approved the official utilization of the "open-source" learning management system, called Moodle, in all six branches throughout Arab states.

The UNESCO Cairo Office (CI) played an instrumental role in this selection and will continue its support to the AOU during the coming deployment phase.


Arabeyes party !

We've invited a number of key developers, movers and shakers in the open source Arabic arena to hear them talk (a Question and Answer session to follow).

The event will be full of stars from Mandrake, Trolltech/QT, Gnome, Wine, OpenOffice, Debian-boot and Arabeyes. And ofcourse some Arabic LUGs like Lebanon LUG and Saudi LUG.

Eglug will have a 30 minutes presentation too and Q&A space for us on 1600 -> 1630 (Cairo Time)
