Re: [sudo-discuss] [Mesh] Computers for the Public Setup+ ALERTS (DNS + Speed)

We don't have a ton of laptops. We have a ton of netbooks. While that Ok gotcha. We do have a handful of usb keyboards that we could set up to stay connected to one of the netbooks. Or we could use the laptop that Uprising has mentioned they're going to bring over. I think that Lubuntu probably has the same accesibility features, but I'll double check. In the past, I've had trouble getting La Commune to get back at all Yeah and it does seem like they're taking a "hiatus". Perhaps we could just move forward with what we see as a decent plan and assume that we'll all be ok with eachother moving forwards in good faith. The average desk/table is about the right height for a wheelchair user, The only reason that Daniel and I were considering a folding down option was to discourage folks from using it as a default instead of walking upstairs to the terminals. It seems that people are sometimes drawn to the closest monitor, and so they might be just immediately drawn to a computer setup in La Commune. But just a thought.
