Today is March 10, 2008... It has been two years since I joined OpenCraft... Excuse me if this post is boring but it's bookmarking an important moment in my life. Three years ago, I was doing almost the same thing: writing web-based software using PHP and MySQL but things were totally different. The main difference is "OpenCraft".

Yesterday, the event was held in Open Craft: Mark Spencer, the founder of Asterisk and Digium, was in Egypt for a holiday and we had the opportunity to have him give us a technical seminar. The man was super cool and very informative. The presentation was never long, it was direct and still very useful. Mark could have a little bit underestimated the audiance knowledge about Open Source but I think it's not him to blame. I believe that there isn't real Open Source usage in Egypt and the area since software piracy is very common, thus even the commercial software is distributed for free.

Finally, I had the opportunity to introduce some quick intro about the web and some of my concerns, ideas and knowledge to audience of a seminar held at OpenCraft's head quarters.
The atmosphere was, as usual, very friendly and very nice. For those who attended and those whom I was unlucky not to meet I post the seminar summary.
