Google Business Plan Competition

Google.org is supporting a Business Plan Competition in Tanzania. I hope Google supports a similar program in Egypt. Perhaps Google may be sponsoring the 2008 Business Plan Competition in Egypt.

Egypt Business Plan Competition 2007

2 million LE in cash and services are the total prizes of the Business Plan Competition which is being held for its third consecutive year in 2007. The deadline for the online submission of executive summaries is April 1st 2007. So if you have a bright IT idea and the right business plan to back it, hurry up and apply.

Egyptian Students in Google Competition

I hope that starting from March, bright intelligent Egyptian computer science students would be joining Google Summer of Code 2007. It is an excellent opportunity to showcase our talent to the world and in the process be exposed to a lot of experience while entering such programming contests. I believe FCI, Cairo University and FCIS, Ain Shams University should look seriously at propelling their bright students through such an opportunity at Google Summer of Code 2007.

24-Hour PHP Competition

What can you develop with PHP in 24 hours? That's what PHPThrowdown aims at finding out. PHPThrowdown is a PHP competition in which contestants compete against one another using PHP during a 24 time frame.

Latin America Code Jam

Google announced the Latin America Code Jam. I hope the day comes soon when Google makes it's Code Jam for the Middle East region.

Imagine Cup 2007

I hope Egypt programmers manage to win high ranks in Imagine Cup 2007.

Egypt and Google CodeJam

I will still not loose the dream of seeing bright Egyptian software developers climbing up the ladder and reaching top ranks in the Google CodeJam competition. The top 3 winners this year, 2006, were from Russia and USA. I still believe that one day not so far from now an Egyptian will reach the top.

Perhaps as Google comes to Egypt, it will make a CodeJam for the region.
