We're trying to donate 500 Ubuntu computers to SF Bay Area schools this 
SATURDAY... and we need your help! 

Can you lend a hand by volunteering to install Ubuntu?  Signup to 
volunteer at one of the four locations (San Francisco, San Mateo, Berkeley 
or Novato) here:

Installfest Details 
=================== 
Untangle and the ACCRC refurbishing hundreds of older/discarded computers 
that the ACCRC has collected with Ubuntu and donating them to Northern 
California schools.  We need support from the F/OSS community to help with 
the installs.  We have automated as much of the install as possible so 
anyone can help regardless of their experience level. Of course we'll get 
our share of error messages so we need gurus also!  ...And the Mozilla 
Foundation is bringing pizza & schwag to each location!  Thanks Mozilla!

  -Keeps toxic computer equipment out of landfills (Aprox 25,000 pounds) 

  -Is a cool community effort 

Thanks in advance for your help!
