Re: Asslam Alikom - Greetings from Cairo

Didn't realize you were in Cairo until I got the auto-reply; just get back to me later when things are less crazy on your end.

Hi Barrett,

Sure, let me know what types of materials youd like. Im not sure how many we have in Arabic, but can check with our technical documentation team. Let me know. This week is crazy in terms of talking. But happy to provide what I can over email (doing a lot of traveling).

Thanks!

Well done on getting the translation service set up, Ayla and Seb; sorry I wasn''t able to provide much direct assistance but I've been swamped. Should also note that JoePie91 at Anonops is building a crowd-sourced translator on the web.

Meanwhile, I'd like to introduce you to Dr. Kenneth Lipp of Cambridge, who has launched an African health initiative called First Praxis; Project PM will be assisting with efforts to design viral health info campaigns in addition to FP's primary effort of serving as an early warning system for health crises. The two of you can probably get quite a bit done together.

I'd also like to introduce you both to Jamie Alexis Fowler of Pathfinders, the women's rights group that does a lot of work with reproductive health freedom and info. Jamie, let's set up a time to talk next week about getting some info from Pathfinder to put in some of the documents we'll be distributing in sub-Sahara by and by.

Finally, I'm also cc'ing Clark Robinson, a retired lawyer who was instrumental in organizing PM's efforts with this and the science journalism project, among other things, as well as Dr. Mano Signham of Case Western, who's authored several books and whose work touches upon quite a bit.

Everyone, Ayla and Seb have been working together on several efforts for the benefit of revolting populations in the Mid East and just wanted to make the introduction. No time to be shy, e-mail each other to one's heart's content.

Asslam Alikom

Dear Hameed,

We would very much appreciate your help in our many translation
efforts. We will forward contact information for our affiliates to
you for review shortly.

We are currently working on a fax project for Libya and several
related projects, and completing the translation of a protestor
first aid guide. The first aid guide is located here and has
instructions for working on an ether pad:
http://pad.telecomix.org/egypt-trans. This document is very large
and it is difficult to work on it on the pad, so it is recommended
to export it and add in segments as completed.

Other projects will be forwarded to you later today. We are
eternally grateful for your critical role in communication with
those struggling against unjust conditions.

In solidarity,

Seb Gillen
Ayla Noland
Project PM
