Are these flashing tools that can help upgrade soon-to-be EOL'd Chromebook hardware?  I read this article today about how something like 40,000 computers at OUSD are going to "expire" because Google doesn't want to support the hardware w/ their ChromeOS. 

Could they be updated w/ a secure Linux version?

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?
