[sudo-discuss] Tonight at Sudo Room Open House Night: Chromebook Conversion

Hi Sudoers: Courtesy of Fremont Unified School District there are now dozens of expired Chromebooks at Sudo Room waiting to be liberated from ChromeOS and ready to accept a new operating system; this involves: - putting them into developer mode - disassembling to disable the bootloader firmware write protect - flashing a new bootloader that overwrites the ChromeOS-locked bootloader (See step specifics here: https://bit.ly/cbconvert, for more background on Sudo Room’s Chromebook Conversion initiative see https://bit.ly/cbsave) Wanna help with this tonight at Sudo Room? If you’ve ever wanted a Linux laptop to explore with you’re also most welcome to convert one for yourself: we need to build out and broaden Sudo Room’s internal Linux experience in anticipation of Microsoft’s end of Windows 10 support in October (e.g. see https://endof10.org/.) Hopefully see you later, -Peter
