Eulogies for #AhmedMekkawy , nickname #linuxawy , of #EGLUG = #Egypt ian #Linux Users’ community, published in #MasrMadr [1].

Useful insight into #FOSS activism in Egypt before and through and after the 2011 #EgyptianRevolution and the 2013 el-Sisi coup, including FOSS pressure on govt ministries, and the #EgyptianAssociationForFreeAndOpenSoftware and the #ArabDigitalExpressionFoundation .

linuxawy: Let's free the world

To see the moment it all began, you have to get in a time machine, back to a now defunct blog.

I am really saddened by the news of Ahmed Mekkawy's @linuxawy passing. This is not just a great loss to his family and friends, but to the Free/Open Source Software community as a whole. He made significant contributions to the local Linux User Group (#EGLUG) and other grassroots initiatives aimed at promoting the adoption of #FOSS. He was the CEO of Spirula Systems, which offered solutions based on FOSS.
