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
