The awards will be given at the GEW-Lebanon closing ceremony on Sunday, Nov 23, at 7:30pm also at the MENA ICT Conference Hall at Termium Tech Expo in BIEL.

Tech Tools Index

December 18, 2008 by RootSpaceOnline

This is a collection of tech tools that we think are helpful and valuable.  We will be adding to this list, and (better) figuring out an open way to add information and share ideas and tools, so we can all be helping out each other. :-)  

Obviously, this page is just a rough draft, but hopefully these tools prove to be helpful for some of you out there.
