Approval Application for Ubuntu Egypt (ubuntu-eg)

The Ubuntu-eg as started to be a key player in the FOSS communities here in Egypt. We seek to get recognized and help other FOSS and LUG groups. We provide support in both Arabic and English languages. We constantly distribute CDs and printed material advocating Ubuntu and free software.

We aim to make Ubuntu a defacto standard through teaching it in Universities.
