'''Sep 13, 2001: Linux Arabization Workshop Happenings'''

[[User:Eldesoky‎|Mohammed Eldosoky]] sent us a message about the results of the LAW 2001. Participants in the workshop decided to establish a web portal for Arabic Linux, featuring news about Arabization efforts, forums and a code repository. Although that seems to describe Arabeyes.org, we are not sure as to what that involves yet.

Dr. Ahmad Sharaf Eldin (Helwan University-Computer and Informatics College, Egypt) was assigned the task of developing a unified Arabization dictionary.

* Ayman Hindam - Multi-Layer Arabization for Linux
