User:Marwan.tarek/Egypt SharePoint User Group

Egypt SharePoint User Group (EGYSUG) is the first Egyptian offline/online community dedicated to talk about SharePoint technology. EGYSUG was founded in July 2007 by Marwan Tarek (MOSS MVP) and now in its first year it has over 400 registered members who work with SharePoint as developers, IT Professionals or end users.

EGYSUG is dedicated for providing technical resources for SharePoint and its related technologies. EGYSUG hosts SharePoint experts from all over the world to share tips, tricks and their expertise on SharePoint in Egypt.

In addition to our offline activities, EGYSUG also co-operates with the most popular SharePoint online communities to produce screencasts and resources in Arabic since we believe that SharePoint is a world-wide community and there should be rich Arabic SharePoint content.

Till now we managed to organize two meetings, the first one was held April, 22nd 2009 hosted by Microsoft Egypt and we had one of the most popular SharePoint experts and evangelists, Joel Oleson presented “10 Steps to Successful Deployments “. The second meeting was held on June, 14th 2009 hosted by ITWorx, we had more than 50 attendees from different companies and universities. We had two sessions, Building Perfect farm by Michael Noel, author of SharePoint 2007 unleashed and second A Deep Dive into SharePoint Content Types Ayman El-Hattab. EGYSUG also participated in Microsoft Innovation day (Keynote speaker Steve Ballmer) where all the Egyptian user groups, online and offline communities gathered and presented How to sessions and Marwan Tarek (founder) presented JQuery and SharePoint.
