It seems that John and Brishen decided to visit Egypt and make some interviews with Wikipedia contributors in Cairo and Alexandria. It's out of the schedule plan and no arrangement for anything.

Mido know about it from English Wikipedia by coincidence and he sent an email to Arabic Wikipedia Mailing List on Apr 21, 2007 to ask for volunteers that's interested in such meeting in Cairo.

Ikhnaton2 (Rami Sedhom), Mohamed Mostafa, Alnokta (Mohamed Magdy) and Ahmed Hashim managed to join the meeting at 8:00 PM downtown in Cairo.

We had difficulties get in time because of traffic jam in Cairo streets and had another difficulty finding a place that could allow us to have video recording but at last we managed to find a good place and we started the interview managed by John and Brishen.

We enjoyed the time chatting about Wikipedia efficiency, benefits, motivations to contribute and difficulties in Arabic Wikipedia.

Their next step is to meet wikipedians in Alexandria.
