BALUG resources/giveaways/wanted/... (hardware, CDs/DVDs, books/publications, ...)
We typically have various giveaway items at BALUG meetings. We'll likely have at least the below plus additional items.
CDs/DVDs/ISOs, etc. - have a look here: https://www.wiki.balug.org/wiki/doku.php?id=balug:cds_and_images_etc Donations of blank or +-RW media, USB flash, or funding thereof, also appreciated. See the above URL for details (and the inventory (qty.) of what we specifically have "burned" and available on-hand does also frequently change).
Hardware, etc. wanted/offered!
Got some (computer, etc.) hardware, etc. you're looking to give away or acquire (or if not free, well below current fair market value), and locally? We have a wiki page to list that - so ... see what's offered, wanted, etc.! https://www.wiki.balug.org/wiki/doku.php?id=balug:offered_wanted_hardware_et... (And I'm definitely pushing the Brother printer/scanner/... and the Dell Dimension 8400 - they'll likely become e-cycle waste if they don't get adopted in relatively near future)
Books and other titles! have a peek here: https://www.wiki.balug.org/wiki/doku.php?id=balug:books_and_publications
