I have wrote something about Software houses in Egypt
"Egyption Companies Part 1"

it's about "how much you suffer to work for Egyption Software house"
:D I hope you like it,
This is completely true! We really have a problem here in Egypt regarding the model of the software companies. The model here is just to complete your required tasks and that is it. We are missing the discussion between the decision makers and the developers. Developers won't be innovative without some kind of freedom. Why don't we have these kind of managers who gives the developers budget and time to make an idea of their own? Why don't we have this kind of competition between the software houses in building innovative ideas? Why when we ask about the best software houses in Egypt we get only one or two companies? Many questions needs our attitudes more than answers.
A good initiative Mohammed and good effort in the survey questions.., but don't you see that it lacked the appropriate propaganda?
Many just heard about it after the results have been released.., it needed some marketing in developers communities like Egypt-Developers, EGJUG, EGLUG... etc. to capture a wider slice of the market.
Keep up such initiatives, cheers!
Thanks, Amr. Yes, this is true. I didn't make a good work in the propaganda. I think it should be through a group or association able to spread the word in their places. Hope to have a better one in the future!
Have a look on this post by Waleed Abdelwahab. I think it say the same according to the propaganda and coordination thing:
