Suggest a list of sites and we'll try to do it. Arafat, we, as you are well aware, are very short-handed (even more so now that a few serious people seem to have been taken an unseasonal rest for some reason) and as such we not only need ideas such as the one you present above, but we need URLs and graphic work and content as well as a means to solidify such a campaign. As noted, I've suggested a PR group and I put some thought into it and solicited others, yet nothing came of it - maybe the timing was wrong and now is a more opportune window to go after the same idea. I kept screaming and yelling about going to one's university and telling professors and students alike about Linux and Arabeyes (Linux-Egypt had great success when they did this btw). I've suggested a "Linux Day" at one's local educational facility (as a show-n-tell), yet that landed on deaf ears, etc, etc. Are there people on this list (or you know of) now that would be willing to work on this subject (again, commitment and serious effort is key).
