Do we really need H4ck3rZ?

September 28th, 2009

An important question popped into my head, do we really need H4ck3rZ website?

We have done enormous efforts for renew our web footprint and now we have stuff that CAT never had, like the central authentication and social networking but with no result on the activity meter.

Currently almost nobody is visiting our website and no activity is being done except for the projects which are terribly slow because no serious contributers are around, so let’s think for a moment, what will happen if we gave up and stopped H4ck3rZ? Will you even notice?

فطار الكات

September 6th, 2009

بقالي فترة مكتبتش هنا و السبب ان حياتي فعلاً ملخبطة و مضطربة بسبب عدد كبير من المشغوليات لكن ان شاء الله الأمور تبقى اكثر تنظيما و يرجع الاستقرار و النظام لحياني قريباً ، المهم ان كان فيه افطار جماعي للكات امبارح و انا كنت سعيد جداً و حزين جداً جداً ، سعيد لأني قابلت اصحابي اللي بقالي فترة كبيرة ماقابلتهمش زي احمد بكر و ابراهم عبد الفتاح و السيد جمال و كمان المفاجئة ايهاب عبد الرحمن و اللي بقالي تقريباً اكتر من سنه و نص ماشفتوش و معرفش عنه اخبار و كان ليه راجع من كندا بقالو يومين. و كمان قابلت زمايل في الكات بعتز اني في يوم اشتغلت معاهم و شاركونا الحلم و بذلوا مجهود كبير زي احمد مدكور و محمد صفوت و محمود متولي )ميتو ( و  ناس كتير مش عايز انسى اساميهم لكن كل الحضور كانوا ناس محترمين بصراحة.

كنت حزين لأسباب كتير و اهمها ان العدد كان قليل ، حوالي 25 واحد بس من كل الكات و ده بيعكس حاجات كتير قوي و برضو انشغال الناس من الحاجات دي لكن كان نفسي احتفل باتحاد الكات اجتماعياً و اشوف الناس كلها اصدقاء و عايزين يشوفو بعض مهما كانت الظروف لكن للأسف الحقيقة ان الوضع الحالي للكات اكتر من مذري و ده اتناقشنا فيه في جلسه ثقافيه جميله بعد الفطار و اللي كان بيتزعمها السيد جمال بخطابه الحماسي المتفائل و ردودي المحطمة للآمال و كان فيه جزء من النقاش عن اسباب مشاكل الكات الحالية و ليه في انهيار سريع في المستوى و ازاي الجامعه مش بتساعدنا و الناس مش متعاونة و حاجات كتير عايزه مقاله منفصلة

المهم كان فيه تكريم بسيط لأبرز اعضاء الكات و اللي تشرفت اني اكون على اول القائمة مع السيد جمال و ابراهيم عبد الفتاح و اللي بنعتبر حاليا اقدم اعضاء في الكات تقريبا اللي لسه نشطاء و متواجدين و اخدت هديه ظريفه و هي “كأس” الكات :lol:

اتمنى اني اشوف جيل تاني زي الجيل اللي عمل الكات و كبرها و وصل بيها للنجاح ياخد الرايه و يبهرنا و يخليني اقول انا بجد فخور بالعمل ده و اتمني اني اشوف الجامعة و الشركات في المنصورة بيدعموا العمل ده بدون انتهازية او سلبيه

و كل عام و انتم طيبين

Lessons We Learned From H4ck3rZ Online Systems

July 3rd, 2009

We have been using forums and CMS systems for long time now to run all CAT websites on the internet starting from the ancient CATReloadedt website that was based on Drupal and ending to this amazing and extensible system “H4ck3rZ Network” that’s based on Buddypress and we have faced hunderds of problems that we didn’t really spend the right amount of efforts to learn from and to solve.

We in H4ck3rZ have spent sometime thinking about that and studying how to stop falling into the same problems and how to engineer a system that is really scalable without the loss of users information that is the most precious piece of our software and we could really design a system that can fix most of our problems in a granular manner, so we can fix things as we go and with minimum users intervention. But because we are engineers and our H4ck3rZ community is engineering community, we decided to share you some of the internals and details of what we have done.

The Ancient Problems

For long long time a faced a problem that we didn’t learn from it, that’s having accounts of our members stored inside the system and we didn’t feel the problem until we faced the problem of migration from drupal to phpBB and the booming fact is that migration might not be possible and people have to register again, we also had a mailing list that had its accounts stored in it and it’s a completely isolated island and we had no easy way to check if both systems are in-sync or not. More problems was arisen when we started the foundation system because each foundation started building its own website and again we lost the user base and people started new registrations on each website independently and moreover people used several e-mails and usernames and that was really a hit because now you cannot identify people by username anymore a good example is that I used the username h4ck3r in H4ck3rZ Foundation online systems while I use the username ‘linuxawy’ in PixiCat and please don’t ask me why :D

The CAT Mission Statement

November 28th, 2008

This post is about a document that became part of history, but for me part of the unforgettable history because it was a state-of-the-art and I believe that it encircles all the problems (or most of) that CAT are facing from the early days of CAT until now. It was the document behind the “Foundation System” and it was written in almost 5 hours with no single go-back-for-check. So you might find alot of spelling and grammatical mistakes so be tolerate :) » Read more: The CAT Mission Statement

5 Years in CAT, So What?

November 21st, 2008

Can you believe that? It has been a little bit more than 5 years since I started working with CAT-Reloaded, or to be more specific, since we formed CAT-Reloaded, as CAT-Reloaded is only 5 years old.

It’s shocking to remember all what happened while being/working as CAT, we had GREAT times together and very HARD times together but what I remember most is what I’ve learned from being CAT and working in such an activity.

I wrote earlier some series called “My Story With CAT” but I didn’t have the chance to complete it, maybe soon, but what you are about to witness is the end of this glorious story.

After 5 years it’s important to see where I stand among my dreams and what were my goals regarding CAT and where is CAT now. As I can remember, I’ve changed alot with CAT and gained a huge experience from working with students as a student and as a tutor, but the most painful part is that I didn’t gain much of technical experience out of CAT as most of its members did. » Read more: 5 Years in CAT, So What?
