On SATURDAY, MARCH 6th, from 9am to 7pm,
we need any and all volunteers who can donate
some time and talent to

 THE LINUX LAPTOPS FOR HONDURAS PROJECT

hosted at the Railroad Earth Studios,

(large gray stone house about 4 buildings South of the
entrance to Emory University at North Decatur Road.
Parking OK in neighboring Saba lot EXCEPT in front
of the computer repair shop).

The goal of the day is to perform triage and light repairs to
recover as many working laptops as possible from a stack
of about 100 used units.  Any systems that can be revived
to a functional state (hopefully 50 or more) will be installed
with a Linux OS Distro and packed up for shipment to South
America.

Volunteers are welcome to arrive and leave any time during
the day, but should be ready to volunteer for a minimum 2 hr.
shift.  ANY AND ALL SKILL LEVELS of Linux use, Linux
configuration and hardware repair are welcome. Volunteers
with language skills in Espanol may be especially helpful.
Pizza lunch and soft drinks will be provided around 1pm,
BYOA (bring your own Ale) adult beverages are OK as well.

If interested in volunteering for this worthwhile charity
project, please RSVP to ArxAaron at gmail.com
