I'll write more about this in greater detail in the future, but my
assessment is that we have quite a bit of energy in Egypt (in particular
Cairo), and I'd love to help our Ambassadors there organize a Fedora
Activity Day, or a mid-to-large-size event somewhere in the next 6-9 months.
^^
In addition i am working with "Mohammed Safwat" one of Egyptian Ambassadors
for organizing Fedora Event, initial draft of event is ready, soon it will
be added to Fedora Event list and will announce here in mailing list too, i
hope this could be a starting point for us in future for Egypt !
In general, FAMSCO needs guidance from the local Ambassadors as to what
events offer good opportunities, or as to whether it's possible to get
together a group of students at a University, etc. for some Fedora talks.
It's not "every ambassador for themselves" but we do rely on local
Ambassadors to figure out what sort of strategy might make sense for their
region, and write about it to the list.
