[DC LoCo] Ubuntu for someone with Down syndrome

[Sanjay Jain]

Hi Bud,

MORE than happy to! :) - I'll get in touch off list.

The requests I've had don't really warrant P4s - But I've made some promises! Does anyone have some spare P3s? If I can get a couple of those, this project can have the better systems.

I'm looking to build a 4 PC computer lab for Congressional Schools of
Virginia middle school in northern Virginia.  If you'd be willing to
donate one or more of those PCs, I'd happily swing by and pick it up.  I
believe we can issue a 501(2)(c) donation letter...I'll confirm that.  

Regards,

Bud Roth

Intellectual property can stimulate innovation, so can war... in both cases the negatives don't justify the 'progress'.... In recent times, humanity has spent more effort in producing smaller mp3 players and cell-phones than clean water and sanitation for everybody... isn't it time to reevaluate how we motivate people?
