Hi All, Today was India fest , just in case you missed the action. At Millennium park :-) It was a big outdoors event with many small tents. I was there for the skate park, and walked around...
To cut a long story short: Calgary Immigrant women assoc (CIWA) is interested in getting help with some computers donations containing Linux. They are also interested to present to us about the organization and how we can help them ... I think it is a good idea to increase clug's social footprint in town. And gain some interesting membership. Also spoke with the representative of a Calgary homeless association etc.. Sorry did not get their contact info, but gave them mine ... (sun was baring down too hard on my head) And they are interested in our ability to use Linux for everyday life and operations :-) Duh ... more membership and possibly more Linux users in town. They think along the line of bolstering their own infrastructure and personnel with Linux capability. Both organizations where interested in reused computers with Linux on them :-) So this looks like a great opportunity for some of our supporters dealing with computer recycling and reusing... Both organizations have no problems accepting using Linux based reused computers... So i will keep you posted on the details, and would like the exec to also pick up the threads on communication between us and them.
