Since this team is fairly fresh and new, I suggest that you put more effort into helping more around, doing more charitable work, help the local LUG, convert more people from Windowism to Unixism, etc. A roadmap is good, it keeps your general goals clear and focused, and it should say how you are going to increase that impact upon the local community, <d4de> how would you think you gonna increase Linux popularity in this area of the world etc.. <d4de> these are the kind of things that should be put into a roadmap <d4de> statistics are also good to be there, maybe local surveys as well helps a lot <thelinuxer> d4de: r u absolutely right <thelinuxer> sorry guys brb <osama_gma> Sorry guys, I have to leave to work on my grad project. I will check the chat log later isA .. <osama_gma> salam <Sensiva> salam osama_gma <d4de> I also think that you should distribute surveys upon normal immortal users and see what turns them off from Linux/Ubuntu and try to come up with a solution or a set of suggestions and send them to the Ubuntu team <mgamal> good luck osama_gma <MFawzy> d4de : exactly, I think a roadmap has to be more general than just some upcoming events :) <d4de> and make your argument based upon that Egypt is the largest consumer market in the world, so their opinion matters. <EgyParadox> fakart ana mawdoo3 elsurveys dah bardo <mgamal> d4de: we had a sort of a historical problem with getting feedback <mgamal> d4de: I believe thelinuxer can elborate on that <Sensiva> MFawzy did someone collect the reg forms and feedback forms in the last event? <d4de> sure ... thelinuxer? <MFawzy> ah, btw, the feedback from the CUFE summer training is with me now :) ...
