ubuntu-us-nj NJ Non-Profit To Give Away PCs w/ Ubuntu

[Scott Sanicki]

My name is Scott Sanicki. As Director of Technology for a start-up in North
Jersey I spearheaded a migration from Microsoft to Kubuntu on about 100 PCs,
both for office use and customer-facing. I am now starting a program at a
local non-profit, the Rescue Mission of Trenton, to accept donations of used
PCs which we'll refurbish (using Ubuntu) and give freely to low-income
individuals and the schools and organizations who serve them. Our primary
region will be Mercer County, but I hope to expand statewide eventually.

At this point we are still working out the logistics, but I wanted to reach
out to the New Jersey Ubuntu LoCo early. Soon we will need volunteers to
help solicit equipment donations, assist with refurbishment and installation
of Ubuntu on the donated equipment, and even training users and
organizations. I hope the LoCo will be a good resource for us.

I will post again when we have officially begun, but anyone interested in
assisting us in any capacity is welcome to contact me.

Thank you,
Scott Sanicki
