Re: [linux] Fwd: Computer donation
Compucorps might be an appropriate place to donate working equipment. They focus on providing disadvantaged people with computers, training and work experience. They are on Somerset right next to the light rail line. jna > On Feb 18, 2021, at 17:25, J C Nash wrote: > > This offer came in to me (I think I'm one of the contacts on the wiki). > > Like the OP, I hate to see working stuff go to the landfill, so am > spreading the word. > > JN > > > Forwarded Message > Subject:Computer donation > Date:Sat, 13 Feb 2021 01:58:29 + (UTC) > From:K60 > To:c...@linux-ottawa.org > > > > *Attention : courriel externe | external email* > I have two older computers with Linux Mint 20.1 installed that may be > suitable for students who do not presently have a > computer.

Something I just saw that will be of interest to us old timers. https://tucows.com/retired/ I know I visited the site early in my computer days. Apparently they did move everything to the internet archives for posterity. jna

Re: [linux] AGM -- NOW!
Just saw this message. Would have joined earlier if I had seen it. And if the link worked then. When I try the link it does not go anywhere. That is it let’s me open my slack app but just dumps me into one of my existing channels or work groups or whatever they call it. Was this supposed to be just a temporary link? jna > On Apr 9, 2020, at 19:13, J C Nash wrote: > > Right now the Linux-Ottawa AGM is in progress on Slack at > > https://app.slack.com/client/T1B1YN3J6/C1B1DJ7M4 > > JN > > To unsubscribe send a blank message to linux+unsubscr...@linux-ottawa.org > To get help send a blank message to linux+h...@linux-ottawa.org > To visit the archives: https://lists.linux-ottawa.org > To unsubscribe send a blank message to linux+unsubscr...@linux-ottawa.org To get help send a blank message to linux+h...@linux-ottawa.org To visit the archives: https://lists.linux-ottawa.org
