I'm in Cairo. It's quite an exciting time to be here!<BR> <BR>Hopes are very high here after their "Freedom Revolution", even with the military still in power.<BR> <BR>I mainly came here to be part of Maker Faire Africa (which was this past weekend), and was funded by a Kickstarter campaign to make it all happen. Together with the brand new Cairo Hackerspace, we set up a 3-Day hackerspace at the Faire, which was way wondeful!<BR> <BR>In case anyone is interested in more info, I created 2 blog posts today on the Noisebridge blog:<BR> <BR>One was about my take on the night of violence here in Cairo tonight:<BR><a href="http://blog.noisebridge.net/2011/10/09/violence-in-cairo-9-october-2011/">http://blog.noisebridge.net/2011/10/09/violence-in-cairo-9-october-2011/</a><BR> <BR>The other is about Maker Faire Africa, the new Cairo Hackerspace, and the Hackerspace Meetups me and Bilal are helping to organize:<BR><a href="http://blog.noisebridge.net/2011/10/09/trip-to-cairo-egypt/">http://blog.noisebridge.net/2011/10/09/trip-to-cairo-egypt/</a><BR> <BR>Cheers,<BR>Mitch.<BR> <BR> </div></body>
