My last presentation “Web 2.0″, Good Bye

Web 2.0, is the name of my last presentation as a CAT member, founder and H4ck3rZ founder. It hurts me alot to see myself saying good bye to all those good friends and mates, they were friends through the good and bad times and we were supporting, helping and challenging each others with love and passion and a clear goal of success.

I don’t know if I had succeeded to deliver my message to the CAT members and to inspire them to succeed in their future, or not? I know that lately I’ve became somehow inactive due to my work schedule and my ShabaCAT project which is still under heavy development and painful progress.

I can’t remember how many presentation I’ve made, but I’ll try to remember them for the sake of history documentation:

  • Windows vs. Linux, 2003
  • The Open-Source Approach, 2004, 2005
  • Linux Installation Festival, 2005
  • XML and Related Technologies, 2006
  • SELinux (Security Enhanced Linux), 2006
  • About H4ck3rZ,2007
  • Secure Shell, 2007
  • Get That Job (CV Writing, Excel at Interviews), 2007
  • Web 2.0, 2007

I can’t remember anymore really, if you remembered anything please don’t hesitate to tell me, I know it’s not that big history but I’m proud to have mentored most of the CAT managers and founders through their very first presentations and later, they were all smart and they just needed someone to show them the way.

In “About H4ck3rZ” presentation, I had that motto “Change Your Attitude” and I still believe that many people remember it and many were inspired by this motto as I believe that it’s the main key for progressive success.

I think that I’ll not have so much attendees in this presentation because of the bad timing and poor marketing for this Scope 6. I know the reasons and may Allah help Ayman Taher as he is the current CAT Coordinator after me and Ahmed Abdalla, He is a great person with astonishing personality and I know that he will continue fighting members’ laziness and he will be the greatest CAT Coordinator ever ;)

Good Bye CAT, I’ve been enjoying living this dream and seeing it almost come true and All I’m asking is “Don’t Forget Me!”

    No my friend, it shouldn’t be a good bye. Isa CAT will never forget you, and they’ll need you always…I don’t think this’ll be the last presentation isa, but maybe it’d be the last one as a student.
    You’ve affected most if not all of us greatly that’s a truth, and I’m one of them. I remember my first attempt of a presentation in the CAT Scope 3 rehearsals, it was consisting of a repeated sound of “2eee” that have some words in between :D. Now I’m totally different.
    All I’ve left to say is Thank you, thank you for your efforts, for the inspiration and for your support. I’ll always thank god for being a CAT and meeting such gr8 people like you. I truly love u my friend.

    I know you will be so busy and responsible for many things after your graduation, but please Eng.Ahmed don’t forget the CAT , the H4ck3rZ , don’t forget me :)
    Eng.Ahmed: you said before (( Join the Team ))

    Hello Ahmed,

    Well, I think Ahmad Abdallah and Tamer have written what should be written here .. Yet, I can’t leave this post without saying something if you allow me ..

    Every thing come to an end, and we should admit of this as a fact of life, you’re preparing now to start a new phase of your life we are sure it will be full of success isA .. But we will never forget Ahmed Soliman and his magnificent contributions that reflect deeply on every person met - or even saw - him ..

    You were - and still are - the inspiring leader, the helpful teacher, the understanding friend and the active contributer ..

    You didn’t waste your time here man, when you leave you will keep after you a lot of positive energies and a sweet memories, and I’m sure you’ll stay with us by your heart and you will visit us when your time allow ..

    Now what shall I say to thank you ?
    What shall I say to apologize for my shortage and how can I excuse making you disappointed or even didn’t try not to ?

    May be some of your dreams didn’t come to existence, may be you have been disappointed sometimes .. But the sure thing is: You created what will make you memorized in our hearts.

    your personality is greatest than your work, and your work is greatest than your personality!

    Would you allow me to say that?

    I don’t know what to say Eng.Ahmed really after these words …
    I don’t know you strongly personally , but i can say that you affected me so much in a very good way of course, and not only me but also sooo many people … i still remember “Change Your Attitude” , and all what you said about it …
    So, it shouldn’t be a good bye … i think you shouldn’t stop now or any time …
    you should still to see your dream comes true , and to help all those people who need someone to show them the way …and to share us your great experience of course :)… we really need people like you ya Ahmed with your activity ,your sincerity , and your love to the work
    So,this’ll be your last presentation as a student ISA , but not your last one as a CAT member ISA ….
    Thank you so much …. and i hope to you the best we rabena yewafa2ak ….

    WOW..
    What a great feeling to hear and see all these words written about you, as I’m sure that everyone didn’t say all of what he/she wanted, and not all people who wanted to express there thoughts about what you did or how you affected their lives.

    I don’t think that I can say any more after all of this great and touching words,
    As for me, i saw how did CAT affect you and how much you dreamed to benefit every single member and student through it, and i believe that this became a true thing eventually, and this is the most marvelous thing to witness.

    You’ve been affected by CAT and the goals you wanted to make in it, and by turn you affected all the members with the smooth, convincing and smart way of yours, as Eng. Mahy said before “enta te2dar tekne3 elli 2odamak eno 100% wrong wenta 100% right bedoon ay maghood” :)

    No one can deny or forget all your presentations and achievements you made with them.
    and i’m not talking only as your fiancee but, before this, through the time we were just friends and how you always encouraged me and inspired me to CHANGE MY ATTITUDE . which is one of the biggest words, that really had me to rearrange my life.

    Every time i attended one of your brilliant presentations, i feel astonished with the continuous renewing you always have, and the ability to grab all attentions even if they aren’t well known about your words, and i go out with more excitation and tending to CHANGE MY ATTITUDE :)

    I know for sure, that i’m the most affected person by you :D
    and this is the greatest thing in my life.

    So, this will continue all the time, the only different thing, that you won’t be a student member in the CAT, and it may be better also ISA.

    You’re not only a great inspiration, but also a great friend and a man that anyone can count on when ever they want.

    so, THANK YOU A MILLION TIMES.

    I will never forget you Ahmed

    You changed me and a lot of people by your premenant support

    Really after few hours of the scope I felt very sad really this was the most beautiful dream I had during my life

    Meeting and talking with you was one of my biggest dreams “I really had this dream a lot after I saw you first time” and one of the things I will remember proudly isA that I wasn’t such a bad person and I met people like you

    God bless you .. God bless you
