Hi Sudoers:
Chromebook Rescue is on the Berkeley Unified School District Board
Meeting agenda for approval Wednesday night; it's been years to
get to this point:

(For background on Chromebook Rescue see http://bit.ly/cbsave)
Chromebook Rescue -- teaching people how to convert Chromebooks
and redistributing converted Chromebooks throughout the community
-- is one of Sudo Room's/Fixit Clinic's Good Works Community
Outreach Projects that coveys digital literacy, digital equity,
and digital inclusion. We should soon have lots of Chromebooks to
work with so all interested parties are welcome to join the fun.
Sudoers have been converting Chromebooks regularly on Mondays at
Women / Non-Binary Hack & Do Whatever Night and anyone else is
welcome to do this then or at other times as well. Not sure where
to start? Convert a Chromebook for yourself to play with (lots of
us can help you) and ponder how our communities might be different
with essentially unlimited and free laptops available to anyone
who can use one.
Sincerely, -Peter
P.S.: On a related note: Microsoft is ending support for Windows
10 in October and Fixit Clinic is part of a global initiative to
convert Windows 10 devices to alternative OSes too. -p
