The install fest runs from 1PM-5PM. After the install fest, we'll be hosting a party. The party is free. Facebook page for the party is here.

If you don't have a chance to drop computers off prior to the install fest, we will have staff outside Union Park doing curbside pickup. How cool is that!

I'd like to thank KUT for running the daily drive-time announcements telling people about LAP; I'd also like to thank SXSW Interactive for supporting LAP as a media partner. Thanks to the support of KUT and SXSW, quite a few people have pulled the extra computers out from under their desks and dropped them off.

We had an anonymous donation of 60+ computers the week before last. While that might seem like a lot, Ken and the Helios team have already distributed over 350 computers to children in Central Texas this year alone. At this rate, they are on track to triage and refurbish between 600 and 700 computers -- not including what we will do at the install fest.
If you think that your company may have surplus computers, please let them know about Linux Against Poverty. In addition to tax receipts, we can provide a variety of incentives.

We've updated the Donations Page so that it answers the most common questions about donating computers and hardware to LAP. If you have any questions whether LAP can use your hardware, simply contact Ken Starks. For corporate donations, contact Lynn Bender.

We have another Gold Sponsor this week: Valentine and Associates. Whether recruitment and retention, compensation and benefits, or compliance and liability, Valentine and Associates makes it possible for you to have a full range of HR services without the expense of a full time staff.
