Mahmoud organized/s many events in Cairo University, takes initiatives to spread the word, and I saw him doing whatever it takes to represent the good nature of Ubuntu Community and making a great day for everyone adn he's really skilled at this. He has made a great job helping organize the very first Release Party for Egypt LoCo which was the real kickstart for Egypt LoCo. He is the team's man inside Cairo University as he holds Ubutnu events there, plus that he participates in all other events in the area.
