| It's not a matter of competition | Jan 7, 2007 |
It's not a matter of competition by any means Hatem. This meeting was organized & we were unaware of the other meeting. I really hope that you all can tell me what do you prefer, if you prefer to attend WATA's meeting, then no problem at all, we can postpone ours for a later date that suits all of us. If no one is going to attend WATA's meeting then why change ours after all these preparations? Please reply ASAP so we can fix the final date either next saturday or another day.

Dear Noha,
Thank you for a swift and very nice reply.
I am aware of your great input and a remarkable flexibility from the outset to make it easy for every colleague to attend. I am also aware that news about the WATA gathering suddenly popped up. So, the competition is not there from the beginning, for sure. But now it is here as a matter of fact: the timing says either/or!

What I suggest is that we make our meeting a little later or next day/Sunday. May be I should make it clear that I am not a member of WATA, but why not meet and get to know our colleagues there? And try to get some understanding of their philosophy that is still evading me?!
By the way, I have no information about how long time the WATA meeting would last. I understand it is supposed to start in the morning. ▲ Collapse

Thanks a lot Hatem for your response but changing the date &/or timing doesn't depend on me alone, that's why we'll need to discuss it again because I don't know everyone's schedule. However, I have another suggestion to solve this problem, what about postoning our meeting to saturday 20th of jan, same time & same place? In that way, colleagues who are interested in attending WATA's meeting will be able to go without rush. I hope to get a reply from all the members interested in attending this m...

| Time for tourism also!!! | Jan 7, 2007 |
Thank you again, Noha.
My stay in Cairo will be only for the meeting/s. Otherwise I will spend most of my time in Alex, Aswan and Sharm. I am indeed aware of the difficulties in reorganising, but a few hours later may be is all that is needed. If mums are worried about picking up their kids, I would gladly take my 6 years old son with me to the meeting. He is already trained for that.

Unfortunately I cannot be in Cairo for more than max 2 days (13 and 14 January). If I am lucky it will work. ▲ Collapse

It would be nice to bring your son Hatem, he is welcome of course but may be other kids are not yet trained (mine is 2.5 years old).
I am not sure if 2 meetings on the same day will be a good idea especially they will be held in different places that are quite far from each other (garden city & nasr city) and also we never know when will WATA's meeting end. What about friday 12? Hatem you said you'll arrive on 9, right? I know friday is usually reserved for the family but we can make a s...

What about friday 12? Hatem you said you'll arrive on 9, right? I know friday is usually reserved for the family but we can make a short reunion 1 or 2 hours after the prayer (same place). Waiting to hear you opinion about any of these suggestions. I hope the chosen day will suit all, including you Hatem of course. Wish you a nice & safe trip. ▲ Collapse

| Please consider this | Jan 7, 2007 |
I am sorry for too many posts I called Mr. Abou Bakr, the responsible for WATA's meeting & he told me that their meeting will atart at 11 am or 12 pm & will last for 2 hours or so. I think this won;t be a problem, we can postpone our meeting for a couple of hours, in that way ther won't be any overlapping.

Waiting to hear from you soon please.

Thank you Noha. I am really glad and hope it will work that way for everybody. It means that interrested colleagues (and I) can attend the WATA gathering between 11 and 2 PM, then then PROZ gathering in Nasr City from say 3 PM. Just great.
Cannot ask for better planning. You Proz-people are really Pros.
Looking forward to meeting you all.
| | | | | Another Suggestion | Jan 7, 2007 |
Thanks Noha for your efforts. And sorry Hatem your suggestion is not work, because one hour does not enough to reach Nasr City. Also, I do not think that the meeting will finish at 2pm.
I suggest another thing, what about Friday 12/1 after pray. I think it will be good for all.
Looking forward to meeting you all

Dear Noha and everybody willing to attend this powwow,
I can sense that Hatem is really eager to attend our meeting and I feel that we cannot turn down a request from such an avid member.
Let's postpone the meeting until 3:00 or 4:00.
I can also bring my 6 year old son to the function if everybody agrees to having kids in the meeting.
Do you agree to this solution?
Best regards,
Randa.

Friday is not good for me at all! sorry, let's stick to 3:00 or 4:00 on Sat 13/1

Thanks Randa for your reply. In fact Hatem is reakky eager to attend especially that he will stay only 48 hours in Cairo. I hope everyone can tell us whether he or she will attend WATA's meeting or not so that we can arrange our meeting. I am sorry to repeat the same again but it's less than a week left. Till now the votes are toward saturday 13th, at 3 or 4 pm. Does any one whish to meet at WATA's place? or we keep our place in city stars?
Waiting for you
