My good friend Linear B of Geekaustin fame recently started a nifty program called Linux against poverty. The program accepts donated PCs and Linux is installed on them and distributed to kids in lower income areas where computer access is more limited. Right now the program could still use some volunteers as well as more machines.
The first Austin Install Fest is taking place on August 1st. Details below:
Date: 1PM, Saturday, August 1st
Location: Union Park
612 W 6th St, Austin, 78701 (map)
LAP is getting a resounding response and is on the verge of going global. So please anyone reading this, if you’ve got some spare time or an old laptop sitting in the back of a closet, feel free to donate.
