Tomorrow I will be missing the first #AmmanTT event that will be held in Amman as the beginning of a new platform for the tech-community by the tech-community. Amman Tech Tuesdays will bring engineers, business people, experts, investors, marketers, entrepreneurs, students and regular enthusiasts from the technology community together on the first Tuesday of every month in a casual but structured setting. The main goal behind the program is to organically fortify and interweave ties in Amman to further our position as the region’s new Tech Hub.

As a co-founder of Nakhweh.com I have been selected by the U.S Department of State as the only Jordanian to attend the 3 weeks International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP) under the title “Volunteerism: United we Serve”. The program includes a lot of interesting and informative activities on volunteerism and civil engagement in the United States.
I’m looking forward to take such an opportunity to get more exposure for Nakhweh.com in addition of developing my skills for volunteerism culture that can be reflected positively on Jordan and the Arab World.
Couple of hours ago we were at Al-Hasan Science City (the campus that hosts QRCE) interacting and working together to explain the idea behind the first international conference for the Arab web industry; ArabNet 2010.
The workshop started with an introduction about the conference by Mohamad Khawaja (QRCE) and Ayman Azzeh (YEA), the introduction also included some stories on entrepreneurship in the Arab world. We were 9 in the hall when it started, then people started to join until we reached 14 people who introduced themselves in front of everyone.

Few days ago Amer (my friend) asked me to check Jordan Festival website, I forgot about it and today after seeing the ads on the streets I decided to go there and check the schedule of the festival in order to see if there are any interesting events that I would like to attend.
What happened when I used Firefox to open the website? Let the picture tell you:
Apparently the company that developed the website is called IT Imagine and their hosting servers are extremely black listed. What’s going on IT Imagine?!
The 30th of June marked as my last working day at Boundless, Akhtaboot and Jawaker. It has been such an amazing experience, and I really enjoyed working with every one of you.
