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!

A Forum is being worked on very slowly
We have been given permission to host light downloads if we so choose. A Files Section is being worked on.
Some emails backlogged emails from the past that we intended to reply to accidentally got deleted unfortunatly. Since we have had this problem, regarding email, every time we have moved server, we are NOT using @egypt2600.net email addresses. Please use the email provided at the top of the page to contact us.
Two more articles that have been added to the Documents page! This is also the first arabic article we have posted on this site, submitted by Cryptonomicon, our cairo admin.

Setup A Meeting Near You
Helping your meeting
There are a few major things you can do to help attendendence
at your meetings.
1. You can make half-page flyers and place them in issues of 2600
at the bookstores in the area you think someone will attend from.
There is a list of bookstores that sell 2600 on the web site.
Stores may not like it, but if you're brave...
2. 2600.com will link to a web site about your meeting. Click
here for more information and examples.
3. Post info on BBSs that are in the area of people you think
would come.
4. Post to alt.2600 and other newsgroups.
Anything you create should include the following information:
Location
Time (First Friday of every month between 5 and 8PM)
Contact (Optional)
If on a local BBS where people may not know about 2600, a quick
discription of what a meeting is
If you or someone you know (for sure) is coming to all your meetings
that specializes in something (networks, radio, linux, etc...),
encourage people with questions to come.
Remember: The hacker community can do without the bad press created
by illegal activities, please don't encourage any. Information,
no matter of what, is the purpose of these meetings.
Last thing: Send us email (meetings@2600.com) telling us how your
meetings are going after each meeting, even if nothing special
happened. How many people were there? Was there any central theme?
Did anyone (member of the meeting, security, etc...) cause problems?
We cannot publicize the meetings in 2600 until they have become
established and it's up to you to get the word out in your community.
Good luck!
