NOTE: above was edited for wider consumption. The idea of a "donation drive" and/or a "donated hardware circulation" mechanism seems like an _extremely_ interesting one especially since a large portion of the populations (and thus developers, etc) we're targeting and dealing with live in developing and to a large extent very needy parts of the world. I'm not sure how to implement this idea, but I did want to see if others have thoughts ? It would such an honor if we could setup a school (somewhere) with donated computers to get them started/interested in Linux. This certainly seems like a topic which ought to relate to educational software (are there localized Arabic children's programs out there ? Does anyone know of open source Arabic-centric educational tools ?). Alas, just wanted to note that this is a wonderful idea that we should pursue at some level. Certainly in the short term if there are indeed developers in need, we ought to fulfill their necessities in the earliest time possible.
