Hi All,
Today was India fest , just in case you missed the action. At Millennium park
:-) It was a big outdoors event with many small tents. I was there for the
skate park, and walked around...
To cut a long story short:
Calgary Immigrant women assoc (CIWA) is interested in getting help with some
computers donations containing Linux. They are also interested to present to
us about the organization and how we can help them ... I think it is a good
idea to increase clug's social footprint in town. And gain some interesting
membership.
Also spoke with the representative of a Calgary homeless association etc..
Sorry did not get their contact info, but gave them mine ... (sun was baring
down too hard on my head) And they are interested in our ability to use Linux
for everyday life and operations :-) Duh ... more membership and possibly more
Linux users in town. They think along the line of bolstering their own
infrastructure and personnel with Linux capability.
Both organizations where interested in reused computers with Linux on them :-)
So this looks like a great opportunity for some of our supporters dealing with
computer recycling and reusing...
Both organizations have no problems accepting using Linux based reused
computers...
So i will keep you posted on the details, and would like the exec to also pick
up the threads on communication between us and them.
SO lets take the bull by the horns bogi... why dont you and i get
together & see if we can start up some sort of clug community outreach
program for things like this. I know other opportunitie like tthis have
happened in the past & have been lost... and other are bound to come as
well & would be a shame to lose those as well.
Lets get together for coffee one of these days & get something down on
paper.
