Re: [sudo-discuss] New West Oakland Youth Center needs computers for their new computer lab

by Ed Biow

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 I wonder if the Center has tried to contact OTX West? Their mission is to supply the youth of Oakland with computers. http://www.otxwest.org/ I've gone to them when trying to collect peripherals and computer cords to send to Cuba, Bolivia & Haiti, they are nice folks. I haven't paid them a visit since XP became unsupported, I wonder what OS they are blowing on the machines these days. As noted, the ACCRC is also a resource. They give away a lot of machines, even if James Burgett can be a prickly codger. (Infomed-USA used to also get hardware from him before we somehow pissed him off). If we want to send machines to the Youth Center I think we should check the machines out first (run smartmontools and memtest for HD & memory) and blow Linux onto them (those old machines probably won't handle Win7 (even if we had licenses) and anyway we should be encouraging use of open sores). I can help with the hardware analysis and have figured out a good way to blow a standard customized Linux image onto old boxen. http://redobackup.org/ On the issue of giving computers to deserving folks, the Pastors For Peace are sending down their 25th convoy of material support to Cuba, they are coming through in mid-July. This year they are trying to get building materials and bike in particular. I'm planning on sending a dozen or so computers. Contact me if you are interested in donating. biow(a)cubasolidarity.net http://www.ifconews.org/node/1439 San Jose, California Event Date: Sunday, July 13, 2014 Route B Details: Main contact person: Shelby Minister Contact phone number: 408-297-2299 Contact email address: coordinator(a)sanjosepeace.org Event description: Food : Potluck ! Entertainment: TBA Location: 48 S. 7th St. San Jose, AC Time: 4: 00 pm Once things have settled down a bit at the new location I'm going to propose having a regular Linux InstallFest at the sudoroom, maybe Fridays (so I can duck out and pick up my pizzas and bring some back to the room) or perhaps after the Cryptoparties. I've got a collection of installation ISOs on DVD/CDs and USB sticks (http://www.pendrivelinux.com/multiboot-create-a-multiboot-usb-from-linux/ Multisystem is a good way to get multiple ISOs on to a single USB stick). I can also set up a proxy to locally mirror deb archives for faster downloads and updating. I use approx these days, but am also familiar with apt-cacher. squid-deb-proxy sounds intriguing, as well, and I wouldn't mind trying to set that up. http://askubuntu.com/questions/3503/best-way-to-cache-apt-downloads-on-a-lan I think it would be good to have a standard time when folks could come to the room to get help with their open source issues from those of us who have been riding the GNU for a while now. Alright, time to get off of my vertical smile and see how many receptacles I can find for the great enboxening. e > 2.

Message-ID: <2035128596.175480.1403285459110.JavaMail.mail@webmail06> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Hi Neon Leon, We have a stack of computers at the space that we'd love to put in the hands of Oakland kids - I am not sure what state they are in, but they are there and no one has stated any interest in setting them up at the space. We also have lots of peripherals that could be of use in a computer lab. Is there someone with the school who can come and help sort through them and find/put together working ones this weekend? We will be moving soon so getting those computers over to the youth center in the next week would be great.

Come dismantle the old room!

It'll be great! If it fits in a box, box it! If it's screwed to something, unscrew it! The truck comes Wednesday. Let's make Wednesday's job easier.

Headcount - 10:30 a.m. wednesday move start

by Steve Wilt

I propose a 10:30 a.m. start for the move Wednesday unless there will be way more folks able and intending to come late afternoon, in which case 3 p.m. Is there anyone moving wednesday who can't do 10:30?

How does one get reimbursed cash (as I'm rather illiquid at the moment)? Sorry for duplicate email. cell phone fail. I say we give our community a few more hours to deliver free, liberated or DIY boxes. Then if we aren't satisfied by around 6pm i will personally drive to home despot and front the cost.

Packing! and boxes!

by Steve Wilt

Since Landlord is throwing a "rave" tonight, packing in earnest starts tomorrow, and we need boxes, etc. First, please help pack tomorrow or sunday. Being packed is vital for an easy, smooth move. Second, we need packing supplies. Were I Czar, (besides wanting to hang myself for parasiting on the people) I'd get the following ~$100 of supplies from Home Depot today or tonight: 100 small (16x12x12) boxes 10 medium(17x18x16) boxes 2 6-packs of packing tape black magic markers I'm assuming sudo has a few box knives or scissors, and that we can get newspaper for fill easily enough.. Also, i have pallet wrap, if needed, on a reimbursement basis. Also, for those who would rather reuse, etc.: BRING US YOUR BOXES, please! (Excuse the hollering.) Third, we should buy boxes because: Unused extra Home Depot boxes can be returned. Maybe folks will bring many good boxes, but back-up is nice, and we could promise not to be wasteful. That said, I'm not Czar. How does one get that purchase okayed? How does one get reimbursed cash (as I'm rather illiquid at the moment)? -steve wilt
