Yay!!! I've been wanting to suggest this one for awhile. I'll be note-taking for the NoBAWC meeting earlier that day so will definitely be around to help set up. If some folks could bring in or donate USB sticks with Linux distros on them, that would be especially cool. In fact, I may even use this an an opportunity to seed the Pyre project, which has been on the backburner for a good year's time, and buy some thumbdrives for the occasion:

Civilization has crumbled, and everywhere all things are burning.

You have a multi-tool, a tiny laptop, and a 32GB USB stick.

What's on the stick?

I can pitch in to that -- I wouldn't dread it at all!  Only thing is, if it happens on a Saturday, I'll have to bring Calvin along, which means it would be helpful to have another kid or 2 there (Ray?) to play with!

 A linux install & inventory day sounds like a great idea. I volunteer! I volunteer!

TIL suggestions:
- linux install day
- hardware assessment & repair (can b combined with the above)
- the art of intuitive troubleshooting (and believe me it is ultimately an art)
