Geekcorps director is now in Egypt researching opportunities for project with the MCIT and Ministry of education funded by the USAID. Currently he's in Alexandria and returning to Cairo tonight, so he'd be interested to meet the Alex people during the day if anyone's interested. Cairo people, I'm arranging for a meeting later tonight to discuss and understand what's the project all about. Anyone interested? keep in touch

As of yet nothing is 100% confirmed, but geekcorps would like to hear from FLOSS enthusiasts with certain skills for a potential project in Egypt funded by the USAID towards the smart schools projects, the required skill set includes but is not limited to:

• Network administration
• FLOSS business model management
• Technical projects management
• Community portal management

So anybody with knowledge of any of the above skills please send me his CV to elezabi{{at}}gmail.

The project will also give a better chance to local hardware manfacturers and software makers willing to work in open source.

Geekcorps cannot promise anything yet as the project hasn't yet been finalized and not expected to begin before October, however I highly recommend this for those who wanna make an impact on the FLOSS state in Egypt, I assume it's a chance for us all.
