Open Source Day, Mansoura

Because I have nothing to do to help them in their upcoming success but just blogging about it, I should raise it up for Open Source Day in Mansoura, which will take place in AlHawwar Club, the place where the first WordCamp in Egypt took place. So on Saturday 15/10/2011, and exactly at 10 O’clock, be there, I can guarantee you will totally enjoy the day, I have witnessed the spirit and the amazing effort done in the organisation and still going from the very back scene. Imagine the power of CATReloaded, Nozom NGO, Ubuntu-EG and Arabic Mozilla united with the extra great experience in organising such events, quantity of knowledge and one belief; getting others to know the difference between how to deal with your life in an open or a closed way!

My Current Desktop

I simply love this..based on ubuntu 10.04, which is really an amazing system to use! You should give it a try!

Google Web ToolKit on Jaunty 64 bit

Recently, I have became a big fan of Ubuntu, this system is really great, I admit I had some time to get used of it – especially with the sudo command -, but I love it! For some reasons, I have been introduced to Google Web ToolKit today, and it’s the first time for me to give it a try, and I should admit this too, Google, you rock!

You can run your projects in mainly two modes of operation using GWT (Google Web ToolKit), Web Mode, where should your final project files get compiled and placed after testing them using the Hosted Mode, and here came my problem.

Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope 64bit and DestroyTwitter

Recently, I had a lot of problems with Fedora 10 x86_64, so I decided to move to Ubuntu, exploring this great operating system to have some new experience on anothafter more than 3 years of fedora!

I should tell, Ubuntu is really great, it’s fast, and really lite. I had no crashes since I installed it; really stable and everything is working smoothly!

I had a problem with the Desktop Effect, I couldn’t enable them by deafult, it used to tell me “Desktop effects couldn’t be enabled”, this was fixed by reloading Compiz Window Manager, and I did so through fusion-icon, simply right click on it and click Reload Window Manager, it will be better too if you became more sure by reselecting Compiz as your default Window Manager, and this can be done through fusion-icon too. you should also be sure that compiz itself is installed.
