It would be nice to coord with non profits that may have people interested
in the laptops, from the top of my head I can think of:
Dev Mission - Coding bootcamp for youth in Mission district, SF
Techtonica - Coding bootcamp for women/nb only
Hack the hood - Mentorship for Oakland youth that wants to get into STEM
Let me know if we wanna go this route, I may have contacts from these orgs.

I'm interested :)
fwiw, some context and background:
- we initiated Laptops For All as a fiscally sponsored project under Sudo
Mesh about 5 years ago after receiving a donation of > 100 nice laptops
from Credit Karma: https://laptopsforall.org
- in recent year or two, sudo room received many chromebooks and have also
been fixing and distro'ing laptops - I'm not so familiar with how this work
has gone, so would love a summary
- sudo mesh has approximately $500 remaining in a designated fundraising
account, which we've previously spent on things such as RAM upgrades, SSDs,
and bits
happy to continue the convo - beyond repairs we should explore best ways
to distro repaired laptops. in the past this was largely done through
existing omni channels targeting the unhoused, civil rights activists
(especially those working with media), and local youth
Love,
Jenny

Well, considering that I've got this pile of
laptops, maybe I can
organize this event. What are folks doing this Sunday?

If they are laptops then we can triage them and
redistribute, as part
of the
Laptops For All project. But if they're desktops, we can't physically
deal
with them and there won't be any demand for them in our audience.
Speaking of which...the Laptops For All project needs volunteers! Who
wants
to organize an event where we go through the enormous stacks of laptop
donations and sort the good from the bad?
