Creating FOSS Allies Through Volunteerism
,----[ Quote ]
| In the response to the current economic climate, President Barack Obama has
| issued a call for volunteerism. Now is a good time for “penguinistas”
| and “GNUsters” to heed that call and volunteer to be part of a team focused
| on moving just one institution such as a school to FOSS. It is often
| difficult work, but that difficulty can be an advantage for the FOSS
| community.

Helping the Needy Get Nerdy
,----[ Quote ]
| Linux Journal reader Kevin, from Portland, Oregon, tells us, "I've donated
| equipment and money to them (Free Geek). I love giving working computer gear
| to them knowing that someone will learn computer skills by refurbishing it,
| loading Linux on it, and passing it on to someone truly in need of a
| computer. After 24 hours of donated time the volunteer gets to take home a
| computer for their own."
