I really like the idea. I like your suggestion that it gives people a less
technical way to participate, and it highlights the act of laptop
reprogramming as something more transformative than basic restoration: is
changing something generic into sobering personal. I’d also really like to
have more events on Saturdays and Sundays.

The Chromebooks need flashing, but there was a stack
of Dells that were
ready to go (sort of…they need wiping) last time I was there. I like the
idea of having an event when we get the flashing tools in.
Perhaps we could do a test run with the Dells? Obviously the event would
be free but we could set up a donation site to raise money for Sudoroom as
well.

Last Tuesday, Peter and/or Tom said they would order all the flashing
tools we need for the laptops, so whenever those come in, anyone should be
able to flash the bios chips. Could incorporate that process into this
event idea... we only have a handful of unlocked computers still I think.

So, I had an idea that I wanted to run past
everyone: What if we invited
people (both within Sudoroom, and perhaps some of the creative/art groups
at the Omni) to redecorate our giveaway laptops? My reasons for suggesting
this are as follows:
1. It's fun
2. It's an opportunity to introduce other Omni people to Sudoroom
3. People who might not be comfortable coming to sudoroom for
technical stuff might be interested in a creative project, and find us
friendlier than they'd expected
4. A lot of the laptops just have IT stickers on them indicating
machine iDs and such, that don't mean anything anymore.
What do you all think? Would a weekend be good for this? Maybe a
Saturday?
