Another suggestion for this: leave cds for the girls to take home. I
don't know much about Girls Inc. but do you think any of these girls
have pcs at home? We could give them ubuntu cds or offer to set up their
home pcs with Ubuntu. Start the spread! Philly will be an open source
city by 2010!

As I said before, I think it's really important we figure out what
software packages to preinstall on all of these pcs, that needs to be an
iRC topic some night for a meeting. What kinds of software things do
girls like? What do we know about Girls Inc? What exactly do they do
there? Is it for girls in general, or usually under under-privileged
girls? Will these be mostly recreational pcs or for school and that sort
of thing. We  have a lot of software packages to chose from so lets get
a nice solid base of free software they can play with
