BLU Charity?

["markw-4" <user=5@nabble.blu.org>]

 After my post on what to do with old computers, it occurs to me that maybe 
"BLU" as an organization could do some charity work. 

I'm willing to accept that schools and libraries may find it difficult to 
accept computers and donations from average "people," but maybe we can use 
BLU as a way to get rid of our old stuff *and* help our public 
organizations that are typically underfunded. I'm sure not *every* library 
or school would be so refusing of free computers. 

A common distribution, I'm liking kubuntu these days, but we should put it 
to a vote. 

Come up with a minimum computer spec. Strip lesser machine for parts and 
recycle. 

Find a school or library that actually *wants* help. 

Have an "install fest" where we setup and test all the donated P.C.s 

Have a second install fest with members who can go on site and set them up. 

If successful, do it again!!! 

What do you think?
