I admittedly know little about the size or culture of the tech community in Sudan. But when organizing a local tech meetup or talk there are a few things you will need: a speaker, a place to meet and a way to market the event to the local tech community.

I normally like to plan things well in advance, ideally 90 days but at least 30 days, to give the speaker time to prepare and allow me to reach a large number of folks who might be interested.

Given your note, perhaps the first talk could be from an open source enthusiast (maybe even yourself) on "Why open source software doesn't mean free of charge?"
