Guys, please, we need a summary post to detail everything. The information is scattered as it is.
So far, I know that we're going to meet at dardashat which is somewhere near batrakiye. What time are we meeting there? should web bring anything with us?
arithma
So far, we agreed on Dardashat, the meeting starting time is 10AM (so you'd better be prepared to reach a minute earlier). You don't need to get anything with you unless of course there's something you want to show others. We also need someone to volunteer a projector or if that's not available an LCD.
We'll be having breakfast, and possibly lunch if the meeting stays for that long, if everyone feels like it of course.
Do you guys think it's too late to suggest Costa in Hamra? There's no projector, but if someone can get an LCD screen with them, it would still be viable for our mid sized audience (<15). I like the place because it's in the middle of Hamra so we have a lot of options for food :)
arithma
So to everyone giving directions to a taxi driver, can they tell them "Maanieh School, Batrakieh"? and then they follow the rest of the directions?
@mesa: Please PM your phone number. I recently lost all my contacts in a "phone accident".

@arithma: actually Costa's a good suggestion. I think they have free internet, but who's gonna get the LCD?

It would take less effort as I already know where it is. It would probably be easier to tell the Service driver too.
Kassem
Yup, I totally agree that Costa is a better option. At least we know where that is.
Ayman
I am fine with Costa Hamra too, at least I know exactly where it is. Lets please finalize the decision by today before 8 pm so each can know. Thanks.
arithma
I feel comfortable enough to finalize it already. Costa, Hamra it is. 10AM.
Does anyone remember if their LCD TVs there have HDMI inputs? In that case I'll just add the HDMI cable to my laptop and we're good to go.
We still need confirmations from saeidw, proners, xterm, mir, bluewolf, Georges, MSD, m0ei, ZeRaW, and cnicolaou.
So please if you can get any of them to say something, let them do as soon as possible.
I can't immediately reach proners, mir, bluewolf, m0ei or cnicolaou.
Georges
Me and Mir are attending if it's going to be in Costa - Hamra.
samer
I SMSed cnicolaou just now.
xterm

We're gettin decent weather so I can smoke outside!

Guys the thing is tommorow, I really dont think you should change the place the day before. For me it does not matter because i will be on Skype. Or just postpone it to may 5 or something.

Nope. I think it's fine for tomorrow. The thing is everyone knows where Costa - Hamra is located. On the other hand, hardly anyone knows where "Dardashat" or the other place are located. So, Costa is the right way to go and there's no need for postponing the meeting to later date.
Georges
I have this version ubuntu-11.04-desktop-amd64.iso in case anyone wants the 64bit version.
@Kassem : I was able to download 7 GB of tutorials for you in the past 5 days. Hope they're enough :)
@Everyone else : If you want softwares, music, videos, etc... i'll be sharing what i have. Let me know what you want by PM and i'll bring it with me tomorrow :)
ali-koubeissi
Georges, bring everything. I will bring everything that I have as well. We'll be having a sharing fest tomorrow ! By the way, what time are we meeting tomorrow ?

Just so we're clear, we're starting at 10AM. And we'll wait for no one. Not even arithma.
