According to a 9.2MB log file that began on Thurday 29th of July 2004. This file was created by xchat on my home computer, which for sure didn't log every thing said on the channel (downtime etc..). It would be more accurate to use na6oosh's log. I Didn't have time to add alternate nicknames. So phaeron appears to be the number 1 but actually alaa is if you added all his AlaaAccra, AlaaSakia, AlaaOpera etc.. nicknames

سكايب ببلاش و الصوت حلو و بيشتغل زي الفل. لية بتوع الجنو لينكس كل شوية يتكلموا عن بدائل للبرامج الي بنحبها ؟

علشان سكايب برنامج غير حر و البروتكول المستخدم مقفول و شركة سكايب بس هي التقدر تستخدمة و طورة. المشكلة أكبر في بند البروتوكول، موضوع أن البرنامج غير حر و غير مفتوح المصدر مقدور عليه، مش أزمة. أنما أسلوب الأتصال و البرتوكول هم المشكلة. تخيل أن مشتركين موبينيل ميعرفوش يكلموا مشتركين فودافون أو العكس.

Too bad the offer turned out that both of us should pay one year in advance. Anyways I heard rumours that DSL prices will drop by the upcoming ICT conference. Well, I hope so.

I removed the blog entry as it is no longer of value and it had my phone number.

Sorry for spamming you guys.

Egypt and Nigeria are going to be one of the first countries to benefit from the ambitious MIT project to produce a 100$ (~580EGP) laptop. This was announced by Nicholas Negroponte. The project was unveiled by Kofi Annan during the WSIS.

An excellent video by Andy Carvin has lots of information about the first prototype from the WSIS. (18.3 MB)

Electronic colonization

True development _requires_ free software, because using proprietary software is not development. It is electronic colonization, in which the poor country is pushed into a state of increased dependency on exports from a few rich countries.

R.M.S. in response to a briefing that claims that FOSS has no impact on development.
