1st, November, 2009 was the start day. We were under the lights with Microsoft team. We started  our Program at Palestine Polytechnic University (PPU) in Hebron city, Microsoft team, including Naseem Tuffaha and Goksin baker were in the way from Jordan to Palestine, the IMG_6661sad part of the story that Mr. Goksin is returned by the Israeli to Jordan, and they didn't allow him to enter Palestine. So he lost what he wish to do, he was waiting this historical moment for many years. So our hero is not allowed to enter the borders. We continue our program by shifting the order of the sessions. After the speech of the president of PPU, I started my speech about PALDEV. It was general overview of PALDEV. Nassem arrived to the hall; it was full of students, a round 250 participants from different Universities. Our program continues, and Mr. Goksin was with us from Amman, Jordan using the LiveMeeting. And finally we give some gifts from Microsoft, one girl won a laptop, and we were happy with this result. we can say that the start was a great not because the event including the official launch of Windows 7 and Official launch of Image Cup competition in Palestine. But also because of the interaction of the students. We left Hebron to Ramallah after we took a lot of photos with the participants.
