[Noisebridge-discuss] server donation to local nonprofit 501c3 corporation

Thu Oct 21 21:05:16 UTC 2010

Past clustering computers, I think it would be great to have a few public
terminals set up. It's a huge pain to carry a laptop around, and if someone
can just hop online and do research or something, it could be really cool. I
also really like the idea of making computers accessible for people who
otherwise can't afford them.

We'd actually discussed doing something similar to this last year, but I
think with the arrival of some donated hardware it would inspire people
again.
