Berkeley High School student Kory Malmrose will be hosting a triage fest tomorrow, Saturday Oct 31 and Sunday, Nov 1, at the Zareason shop in North Berkeley. If anyone is bored tomorrow and would like to come assemble machines for Linux labs for schools in Mexico, this will be guaranteed to be a good time. Plus free pizza!!
As an added bonus, this project will be held at the Zareason shop in Berkeley, the site where many of us have purchased pre-installed Linux machines. Come on over and see the west coast’s best Linux-only retailed in action!
Here is Kory’s announcement:

I need help frankensteining 30 desktops so I can send them to Mexico for a Technology Transfer Program led by Stormy Peters of the GNOME Foundation. Christian Einfeldt was nice enough to give us the hardware and last weekend we moved them from SF to my family’s computer shop in Berkeley. The project is for my Eagle Scout. I was going to have a group of friends help that helped my brother with his Eagle Project, but something came up at the last minute and now I have only one helper on Saturday and possibly two on Sunday (all from the Berkeley LUG). Are there any other LUG volunteers in the Bay area who can help me out?
The first session is at 10 am on Saturday (and other on Sunday) at our shop at 1647 Hopkins St, Berkeley, 94707. The BART is close & we can pick you up from there if that makes it easier. We’re also getting some great Gioia pizza and some good stuff from Hopkins Bakery for lunch. Stay however long you like and if you can’t come at 10, we have other times that will work too. Let me know if you can help.
Thanks for helping out at the last minute. I really appreciate it.
Okay, I’ll try to be there 10am bright eyed and busy tailed. Coming from SF via BART and bicycle.
Well I’m interested having worked some yr.s ago on W 95 recyc’d computers. I’d like to try
working on Gnome machines. I can make it in on Sunday for a couple of hours -during the week, I should be able to get there on a Tues. Sounds like a good project. AT
we have a computer shop at home and the profit that we get from it is just awesome .
