[NBLUG/talk] Need Your Help in Novato... 500 F/OSS Computers for Schools!! (SATURDAY)

[Andrew Fife]

We really need NBLUG's help to donate 500 Ubuntu computers to Bay Area
schools this Saturday.  Our Novato location has only 1 person signed up to
help with the installfest.

If you can lend a hand by volunteering to install Ubuntu at the Novato
location, please sign up here:

Installfest Details
===================
Untangle and the ACCRC refurbishing hundreds of older/discarded computers
that the ACCRC has collected with Ubuntu and donating them to Northern
California schools.  We need support from the F/OSS community to help with
the installs.  We have automated as much of the install as possible so
anyone can help regardless of their experience level. Of course we'll get
our share of error messages so we need gurus also!  ...And the Mozilla
Foundation is bringing pizza & schwag to each location!  Thanks Mozilla!

Why the event is cool:
======================
  -Helps spread F/OSS (Ubuntu, Firefox, OpenOffice & more)

  -Helps bridges the Digital Divide with underprivileged users 

  -Keeps toxic computer equipment out of landfills (Aprox 25,000 pounds)

  -Is a cool community effort

Thanks in advance for your help!
