Islam is one of the most reliable and enthusiastic volunteers in the Ubuntu-EG LoCo team. He truly believes in free software philosophy, and considers it a way of living. Also, he is considered the graphics wizard in the team as he showed great skills using Blender and other graphics software. Our last event at El Shorouk Academy was successful because of Islam's contributions to the event planning.
