Marhaba everybody I'm just back from a fantastic week in Beirut where I was invited to attend the Second Arab Bloggers meeting http://www.arabloggers.com/blog/ It was an incredible meeting and we had the chance, thanks to Sami Ben Gharbia, to meet up and discuss with bloggers from all over the Arab world. I posted some thoughts on my personal blog here http://mediaoriente.com/2009/12/15/second-arab-bloggers-meeting-over/ Ahmad Gharbeia http://ahmad.gharbeia.org/ had a presentation about Creative Commons and he was so kind to share his time slot with Basel Safadi http://bassel.ws/ The result was an incredible "duo" which reminded me the time of "wahda" between Syria and Egypt.. eh eh just joking:) thanks guys you did great! As a result of this presentation, lots of people from Iraq, Bahrain, Lebanon, Qatar, etc asked us how to start a local "chapter" of CC and inshallah the next 2010 will see more activities flourishing in more Arab countries. I'm grateful to Ahmad for having started the discussion in such an interesting meeting, to Basel for having contributed so nicely to the discussion, to Ala'a and Gamal who gave me lots of insights about the growing CC Arab community, and to all the other people who so nicely asked questions and participated with enthusiasm at the meeting and proposed to organise things in their own countries. I'm grateful to Sami for having organised this and invited us and hope next year it will be even bigger with more countries involved. Shukran kteer and inshallah next year we'll have more and more activities flourishing in the Region salamaat dona
