Re: laptops needed
I think drinking beer under a palm tree beats drinking beer at a
keyboard any day.
Why not drink a beer under a palm tree while at the keyboard?
Living in South Florida I have had the good luck to have many an
opportunity to do this... and I must say... it's pretty satisfying!

I believe that's humour.
Who wants to code when you've got island life outside? Palm trees,
fishing, swimming, bikinis, seafood, etc. I think drinking beer under
a palm tree beats drinking beer at a keyboard any day.
Also, maybe from Theo's perspective, I've heard tell that it can get
pretty cold in Canada.
I live in Australia, there are beautiful national parks and great
weather
outside, but im not going anywhere unless the girlfriend asks.

I live in Australia, there are beautiful national parks and great weather outside, but im not going anywhere unless the girlfriend asks. Came across this recently, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucky_Country interesting is this excerpt: Horne's statement was actually made ironically, as an indictment of 1960s Australia. His intent was to comment that, while other nations developed based on clever means such as technology and other innovations, Australia did not. [1] ... I keep wondering how Australia keeps pace with its relatively low population in a world where a country like China floods the world with electronics equipment. How does Australia keep its sovereignty? Obviously someone has to check whether electronic hardware from elsewhere is going to profit or harm a country. Sit under yer palm tree all ya want though... :) To reduce any effort of reverse engineering software to find backdoors an Open Source Operating System like OpenBSD is just the right thing, as reading source is a lot better than disassembling binary. Also pushing for open hardware documentation would only make sense for a country such as .au. Regards, -p

laptops needed
Two developers who don't have a lot of money recently had their laptops die -- laptops which other project developers gave them in the past. We would love if it some people could donate some. One is Brad in Toronto, and the other is Joris in Dominica (yes, the island -- one could argue that people who live in such places should not have computers). For Brad it is likely better to get a machine directly to him there, but for the other it is probably better to get it to Calgary so that the machine can be gotten to Joris during the hackathon. If anyone can offer these, we would appreciate it. Contact them directly, or me. Thank you.

What types of specs are they looking for? Small or large screens?
