[advocacy-discuss] Proposal for OSUG in Kabul, Afghanistan 

,----[ Quote ]
| I'd like to propose an OSUG for Kabul, Afghanistan. It could be called "Kabul 
| OpenSolaris User Group" or "Afghanistan OpenSolaris User Group". We don't 
| want to lay claim to the whole country, but I'm pretty sure there's no-one 
| apart from us who does UNIX here.   
| 
| The initial participants of the OSUG are Abdullah Ghaznawi, Said Adil Hashemi 
| and myself, Said Hakim Hamdani. We all work at the same place 
| (http://www.medical-kabul.com/) and since I brought OpenSolaris with me to 
| Afghanistan, I was able to get both of them interested enough that they are 
| going to make their systems dual-boot with OpenSolaris and WinXP    
| 
| [...]
| 
| We are located in Kabul, Afghanistan and as far as I know we're the only 
| Solaris users around. The computing infrastructure in Afghanistan is still 
| pretty much in its infancy and I am doing what I can to get people to try out 
| UNIX (best of Solaris of course) and use it for their daily computing tasks. 
| There's some Linux around here, but I'm not too fond of that and having seen 
| a single (!) copy of Solaris 10 in the software market the other day, I sat 
| down with Abdullah and Adil and we decided to try and get people more 
| interested in OpenSolaris.
