[PLUG] [Ccilvolunteers] PC Rebuild party on Feb 2 - volunteers still needed! (fwd)

[Chuck Peters <cp@ccil.org>]

I'm not sure if we still have a need for two volunteers saturday, but it
would be good to have PLUG people who know Debian and like to promote and
encourage interest in Linux.

And I think we are taking 5 or 10 machines to the WCCC saturday.

Thanks,
Chuck

We still need 2 volunteers for the rebuild party this Saturday.
Email me at jpatti@ccil.org if you'd like to participate.  Thanks!

Info on rebuild party:

	CCIL is partnering with West Chester Community Center (WCCC) to
conduct the computer rebuilds.  Basically, the idea is that WCCC will
provide lab space (those of you who have previously assisted know we
don't have much space here at my home) and 5 teenage volunteers.  CCIL
will provide 5 volunteers to partner with the WCCC volunteers, in
addition to my husband Steve and myself, who will assist all the
volunteers.
	We hope to build 5-10 boxes to completion at this rebuild party and
schedule the next rebuild party for March.
	We've built and tested a number of boxes hardware-wise, this next
rebuild party will involve installing software.  We're going to
install the Libranet OS which is an end-user version of Debian, a
Linux distribution, and a suite of applications.

	You don't need to be experienced with either hardware or software to
volunteer.  While I've worked in IT for years, I have little hardware
experience and rely on my husband.  All of us have minimal Libranet
experience as well.  We're all learning together, so don't be afraid
if what you don't know this stuff!
	What we need is for anyone who wants to assist with the rebuild to
meet at my house in Downingtown next Saturday at 1 PM and load your
car with 3 or 4 computers and head over to WCCC.  We expect to build
boxes over at WCCC from about 2 PM until 6 PM or so.  We want 5
people, so email me ASAP if you can make it.
	The space at WCCC has a large metal desk for each team of volunteers
to work at.

	We will also need a few long extensions and power bars.  If anyone
has any to donate, or can bring along to the rebuild party, let me
know.  We have a very small budget for this project, so everything
donated is appreciated.
