[Hisham Abdel-Magid]

Dear Susmit,

Plz correct me if i'm wrong ... this thread e.mail is addressed to Fedora
Ambassadors @ India ==> quote: "... You are receiving this message because
you are listed as a member of the Fedora Ambassadors Project and You are
from India. ... I am performing some housekeeping ... ".

(Otherwise, i have to state something about my activities as well ...
right?) ^_^

regards

> 2. Created powerpoint slides explaining the benefits of GNU/LInux and

> 3. Currently in talks with my employer to have classes for businesses
