We need more computers!Right now there are kids in Austin who can't do their homework properly because they don't have a computer at home. Do you have a spare computer to donate?
We're looking to have about 200 computers in inventory on the day of the installfest. Tom has a team of 50 volunteers broken into four groups -- with tables and chairs supplied by our friends at RGM Advisors. We have image servers. Union Park has given us the 10,000 sqft space. However... We need more computers. Every company I've ever worked for has had a back room with a dozen or so computers waiting to go to Goodwill. Most of my friends have a spare computer in their bedroom, closet, or whatever that they no longer use. I'll be bugging everyone of them. Do you have friends and employers with the same leftovers? Can we have their computers? We'll get you a tax receipt. If you have a sizable donation, we'll make arrangements to get them picked up. we'll figure out some additional perks. Just contact Ken Starks at helios@fixedbylinux.com. Tweeting is appreciated, but.... You tweet this. Your friends retweet it. Thousands of tweets fly. Meanwhile, so many the computers sit in closets waiting for their trip to a junkyard in China.
Instead This can make a big difference in someone's life. Someone right here in Austin. And it won't cost a cent. Thanks. -Lynn
