Hi Michael: Can you please spread the word through your Linux groups about the event below this Saturday?
======= This Saturday Feb 21: Linux ExChromebook Installfest in Hayward
StrayCap Multispace a new not-for-profit Makerspace in Hayward (https://straycap2.wixsite.com/mysite/home), they’ve got hundreds of expired school system Chromebooks to convert to Linux laptops. (See https://bit.ly/cbsave for background.)
So let’s meet this Saturday Feb 21 at StrayCap noon-3PM; bring any laptop disassembly tools and USB drives with distros and we’ll work together to convert and reconfigure the Chromebooks while asking questions like: -How can we best re-purpose these in our communities to improve digital literacy, digital sovereignty, digital inclusion, digital equity? -Depending on those use cases: which distro(s) work best? -How much can we automate the installation and post-installation process? (You’re welcome to take some home to experiment with.)
Hope you see you Saturday, -Peter
