I guess having it on saturday on in the JEA is the best option ... reasons are:
1- In UJ it will be uni specifice, as students from other unis might find it hard to come and skip their classes. 2- We will have a problem getting into the UJ not being students 3- the interested people coming with their PCs to install linux on it will have difficulties getting their PC chasis out of uni. 4- On Saturday, it can be a full day event, and we can be dedicated to it.. 5- on a Saturday, in a more public place than a university, the attendance would be indeed higher, and alot higher! just my 2 cents On 10/23/07, Al-Faisal El-Dajani <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hey all, glad to see the ball rolling. > > One thought, wouldn't making the event on saturday make it harder for > people to join us? i know it's the best time for most (all?) of us to do it, > but perhaps moving it to a week day would help us get a bigger audience? > Just a thought > > We can discuss the specifics on the meeting scheduled on the 3rd. > > On 10/22/07, Obada Wa'el Saqqa < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > > thx alot kifa7 :) and everyone > > > > let me tell some facts and suggestions > > > > jordan university students have mid exams from 28th Oct ~ 15 Nov > > i guess other universities have second exams afterwards > > and such festival needs time for preparations > > a few of days for preparing the announcement or a brochure or both > > then copying and distributing > > we can put it in many universities, at least the main ones , JU, > > JUST, HU and YU > > we need a time of a week for the ads to be effectively spread the event > > it is better to be done in mujamma3 ennaqabat like the time be4, than > > to be done in a university > > though it is possible, bs more 3'alabeh on everybody > > we can do it through JEA, we have to write an official letter for JEA > > to take permit and reserve a hall > > basically i took permission > > > > so i suggest we make a social meeting on the 3rd of nov > > and the festival to be on the 17th > > firstly i have the honor to meet mr. kifa7 and the lugs, or brki > > yaman ykoon mawjood;) > > and so that things can be prepared and discussed better > > > > 3obada > > > > -- > > Obada W.
