well one of the topics on the agenda is using city funds to encourage
purchase of inexpensive computers for residents of low income housing.
I cant think of any computers as inexpensive as those Sams Club
computers that come with SuSe pre installed we can make a good case for
those computers to run GNU/Linux.
ill pull some information together for you and I expect many fo the
people on this list to gather what they can. also I think we can do some
planing at Tech Nite this week end and put together a short presentation
for the meeting.
