I'm expanding the schedule to also include the fourth wednesday of each
month, meaning two classes a mon
Howdy, hakkers.
We need to expand our open hours. Currently, we are open from 7p-10p on
Tuesday and 6p-10p on Wednesday. I'm pledging to be at the space from
12p-5p on Saturday (with an exception for the 19th when I'm at Ohayocon

might be interested in pursuing? I remember Ryan Rix's advice of
"Don't become an e-waste dump space", but with the limited scope (cell
phones), I think this could po
I'm confused. Would we collect the cell phones and then sell them to a

supply them to Jeremy's company where he would do whatever it is he
does to generate revenue, a portion of which would be sent back to us.

I'd look for a bit more detail and try to verify as much as possible;

Some of them, however, ship the stuff off by
