 My Name is Ahmed Shams El-Deen, 23 from Egypt. I love to triage bugs for Ubuntu, specially for Input Devices/xserver, review Ubuntu translations as well as helping others as long as I know what are they talking about ;). As a member of Egypt LoCo team, I like to go out, advocate open-source, help others to jump to our community easily and to migrate to Ubuntu. I love to deal with each and every interaction I have inside this community from a solely personal perspective, that is to deal with the Human being behind each bug report or support request, this way I can find in myself enough willpower to take the extra mile.  Hi, I'm Ahmed Shams, I love to triage bugs for Ubuntu, specially for Input Devices/xserver, review Ubuntu translations as well as helping others as long as I know what they are talking about ;).

Big part of my brain keeps thinking of locos and newcomers, have no idea why?, but I like this and will put some work to grow that idea.
