Bassel and myself want to do some great events in Syria, initially stimulated from Laoban and Laoban Speaker Workshop and brining them to Syria. Bassel and I work on http://openclipart.org together, and share connections through Creative Commons' middle-east envoy, Donatella Della Ratta. This is a brain dump on great events and time to do events together.
