<br></div>question for anyone: forgive my ignorance, but are the small library/classroom spaces downstairs slated for a particular collective right now or are they available? (also, is there a map that shows what collective is in what space?)<br>

My crony Gerald & I picked up about 15 'puters from <a href="https://youthradio.org/" target="_blank">Youth Radio</a> today, and brought
them to the sudoroom. We also grabbed about 7 monitors and a bag
full of cables. These boxen look pretty sweet, dual core, Windows
8, 4 GB of RAM. I was planning on installing some version of Trusty
Tahr (*buntu 14.04) or maybe Debian testing and then using a live
disc (<a href="http://redobackup.org/" target="_blank">redobackup</a>) to blow the
image on the rest of the machines after testing the memory and hard
drives. Brian, the IT bloke at YR is replacing the machines with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Next_Unit_of_Computing" target="_blank">NUC</a>s.
It looks like there are another 30 or so of these Dells available to
us when they get readied. If we can spare the table space maybe we
can set up a few machines for visitor browsing in a quiet corner
somewhere. And we should have some nice boxes for the Oakland kids'
computer center. The four boxes I have ready to go are mostly
pretty funky, missing panels, or very loud, etc. I'm sure we can
find them a home, though. I also have a few more expendable desktop
Linux machines at home. Finding rodents, power cords, monitors
& keyboards may prove a bit of a challenge, though I have a few
extra keyboards and power cables.<br>
<br>
I'm planning on going camping in August, but in September I'd like
to start hosting a weekly Linux install fest/trouble shooting
session on Friday afternoons at 4 PM. Folks can bring their Linux
problems in for troubleshooting, and I can bring pizza back from a
pickup I make at 8PM from a local collective. Maybe if nothing else
is going on we can cap the evening with a tech/polit-related flick
to go with the pizza, perhaps even a round of frosty malted
beverages. As I mentioned before, maybe we could use some always-on
machine to act as a proxy for deb files, so we could update machines
at 11MB a second instead of pounding our limited internet
bandwidth. I'm familiar with approx and apt-cacher, though there
are others. I'll bring up the idea during one of our weekly
Wednesday meetings soon.<br>
