## page was renamed from EgyptTeam/ApprovalApplication <> <> This application was reviewed on 20th of March 2012. Please check the meeting [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EgyptTeam/ApprovalApplication2012/Meeting|log]] for details. Ubuntu-eg team has 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 so graduated student can have mentalities oriented towards Ubuntu/Linux and FOSS, hence growing up our community in Egypt and spread Ubuntu more faster. == Key Details == ||'''Date:'''|| 14th of March 2012 || ||'''Team Admins:'''|| [[https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-eg-council|Ubuntu eg Council]] || ||'''Team Contact:'''|| [[thelinuxer|Ahmed Toulan]] || ||'''Membership:'''|| 272 [[https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-eg/+members|launchpad members]] || ||'''Homepage:'''|| [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EgyptTeam|EgyptTeam]] || ||'''Mailing List:'''|| ubuntu-eg on lists.ubuntu.com (282 subscribers) || ||'''IRC:'''|| [[http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=ubuntu-eg|#ubuntu-eg]] on Freenode || ||'''Twitter:'''|| [[https://twitter.com/ubuntueg|@ubuntueg]] (687 followers) || ||'''Facebook Page:'''|| [[https://www.facebook.com/ubuntueg|Page]] (2867 likes) || ||'''Facebook Group:'''|| [[https://www.facebook.com/groups/ubuntueg/|Group]] (1155 members) || ||'''Linkedin Group:'''|| [[http://www.linkedin.com/groups/Ubuntu-EG-3668894?home=&gid=3668894&trk=anet_ug_hm|Linkedin Group]] (130 members) || ||'''Flickr tag:'''|| [[http://www.flickr.com/photos/65021227@N03/tags/ubuntueg/|ubuntueg]]|| ||'''Team Reports:'''|| [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EgyptTeam/TeamReports/|Team Reports]] || == Statistics: Social Media == We have a lot of social media channels which are mentioned before, and here are some insights from our Facebook page which has about 2867 likes.

We have now 6 Ubuntu members. {*} [[https://launchpad.net/~thelinuxer|Ahmed Toulan]] {*} [[https://launchpad.net/~ashams|Ahmed Shams]] {*} [[https://launchpad.net/~kim0|Ahmed Kamal]] {*} [[https://launchpad.net/~seif|Seif Lotfy]] {*} [[https://launchpad.net/~egyparadox|Omar Mohsen]] {*} [[https://launchpad.net/~wazery|Islam Wazery]] == Roadmap == We are engaged now in working on a new team structure that would allow new comers to pick up quickly the methods of our community and start working directly with the team. Another thing we started is the usage of Launchpad to track our tasks to avoid having tons of emails and phone calls. (It's still a work in progress and is subject to change) * Launchpad [[https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-eg|project]]. * New team structure. The structure can be summarized in the following graph: {{attachment:Team-structre.png|Team Structure|width=820}} * N00b: Refers to a new comer. * Orientation: A small event we gather all new comers to know more about our team structure and our methods.(Can be online or offline) * FG: At that point the N00b can join a Focus Group to directly start working with the team. * Ubuntu-eg members: Which allows him/her to vote in any elections. * Creation of sub-teams to allow people of common interest in the team to meet and work together. Also, sub-teams will be responsible for providing learning guide for the specific task of every team. We are currently creating teams on need basis. * [[https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-eg-art|Ubuntu Egypt Art]] * [[https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-eg-devel|Ubuntu Egypt Devel]] * [[https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-eg-marketing|Ubuntu Egypt Marketing]] * [[https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-eg-support|Ubuntu Egypt Support Squad]] == Experience == ## A number of training sessions for Qt, Python and Graphics on Ubuntu, please have a look on [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EgyptTeam/TeamReports|team reports]]. * [[EgyptTeam/Meetings/Agendas|Meetings]] are being organized.
