Cameron / Partimus folks, perhaps y'all ought connect.  :-)
I believe Partiums is (approximately?) based in(/around?) San Francisco,
and also does / has done work with some East Bay (Oakland, if I
recall correctly) school(s).  I believe Grant is also out in East Bay,
East of Concord.
Also including link to list of lists (of [L]UGs), in case that's
also useful.
Thanks for reaching out and asking!

Subject: Do you take donations?
Hello,
I am contacting you on behalf of the company I work for. We are located in
Concord, and are in the midst of a transition. We would like to get rid of
some older PCs we have replaced with newer ones, and we are in the midst of
wiping all of our hard drives. We were wondering if perhaps this was a
Linux group that took donations, as we would rather put the PCs to use than
scrap them as e-waste. If you do accept donations and would like to discuss
this matter further, or if you do not accept donations but do know of other
local groups that accept donations, please email me back.
Thanks,
Cameron
