We recently got contacted by the science and technology chairperson of the "Egyptian American United Social and Legal Funds (for?) NGO's", who is also a senior webdesigner of the "Public Relations Society of America" website (www.prsa.org). (NGO = non-gov org.)
The message concerned a current project of theirs involving gathering Arab IT proffessionals under the theme of "Arabic e-business website development" and "internet security".
They formed 7 months ago and have 22 members so far
Any egypt2600 watchers in the states interested in joining?

It's 2600 day today! But that soon might change... Read on ...
We were live on air with Emmanuel Goldstein, founder of 2600, on his weekly radio show "Off the Hook"!
We asked for special permissions involving bending the official rules of 2600, as we are the first (and only so far) official meeting in the entire Middle-East.
If everyone can by majority agree, we can have Middle East 2600 meetings on every first THURSDAY of the the month instead! Please check out the link provided below for more detail on all of this!
