Bay Area Linux Users Group (BALUG)[1]
will be presenting, for its 2007-11-20 meeting:
James Burgett, Alameda County Computer Resource Center (ACCRC)[2]:
"Free Software, The Environment, Social Welfare, and the Digital Divide"

    Planning to attend?  Please e-mail an RSVP[3] to:
    RSVP at BALUG.ORG

James will recount the path ACCRC has taken as it's grown in the last
five years to reclaim and reuse computers, peripherals, and other
electronic devices people donate.  In general, ACCRC gives computers
to individuals and worthy organizations without charge or strings.
ACCRC uses Linux on the systems it gives away and has developed quite
a bit of expertise in installing various Linux distros on various
(old) hardware.  (flyer[5] for event)
