About

I am Karim Fayez from Egypt, I am 24 years old and still getting older, I live in Cairo city:: the city that never sleeps. I am a security systems engineer and computer administration is my main hobby but I really prefere it more than work...anyways.. I have started working with linux in the september of 2004 -after hearing about it for four years and didnt have a chance to try- by trying many distros like Redhat, Whitebox, mandrake, Suse, Fedora, and others then I got introduced to ubuntu by the release 5.04 through [http://distrowatch.com Distrowatch] as i was caught by the brilliant idea of shipping free CDs and from that time I have been using it and proud to be an unbuntu loyal user...

Through the last year I worked on convincing people to switch to Ubuntu and I succeeded in switching 25 persons totally in addition to my company which now uses several GNU/Linux distros including my favorite Ubuntu.

Through that time I kept thinking of building a LoCo team of ubuntu in Egypt as to enhance the availability and the knowledge about linux and the open source foundation. I consulted couple of my friends and here we go starting the team which i believe will rock... Ubuntu-EG.. and just before it was announced officially we managed to give two GNU/Linux introduction trainings one of them was held inside the university and the other was for a group of people who wanted to learn about it and i believe some of them are eager to switch soon.
