Global Voice meets Jordan Bloggers

In my to-do-list, I always wanted to meet some/all of Jordan Bloggers, and that wish came true last night. On top of that, it was more pleasant to have Ethan Zuckerman from Global Voice attending and sponsoring this meeting.
Having said that, you can imagine how interesting it was. Starting from the place we meet at, to the people attending and finally the subjects we discussed. (Not to forget that we celebrated Roba’s birthday two days in advance 
)
Anyway, I’m very happy to see and meet so many dedicated people. The group project(s) these people are working to archive can be described as the corner stone for a nation-wide ‘(Arabic) Blogging’, specially among youngsters and rural areas.
Best of luck everyone, and hope I get the chance to meet all of you again soon.

It was great meeting you Haitham
Thanks a lot for the birthday surprise! That was really sweet!
Hey, great to know you all had great time. You can’t imagine how much MMM & I wished to meet you in person Haitham, but maybe next time
haitham… wonderland bloggers are changing colour…we’re turning green..
on the up side, the last bloggers meeting turned out great, with out 12 people turning up
You are welcome Roba. It was pleasant meeting you all.
Eman, I hope I get a chance soon to meet you and MMM. Maybe next time I should take a break and visit Tunis
Silly Girl, I’m coming back mid of August, so see you in the wonderland soon
Anyone ever considered a region blogger get together? A “Middle Eastern Bloggers Association” or something?
Maybe someday I’ll start a blog and be able to meet you all in person.
Topic for another day: What can we do, with the distinctives that bloggers have, to do our part to help underpriviledged Palestinians in Jordan? I’ve been thinking about the responsibilities that the haves ‘have’ to the have-nots, and what that would look like. Plenty of passion for Palestine, but can can we DO to make a difference other than offer a voice and venue?
Looks like you guys had a great time
Our 4th Tunisia meetup is today. I hope you could all be here
We wish we could’ve been with you all
And Haitham we both are really looking forward to meeting you someday
And Ahla wa sahla fi Tunis anytime man. El balad baladak
