We have a little time left to secure a laptop for a F/LOSS project at The Forest [1] in Edinburgh
The project is to setup a dedicated listening station -- a second-hand laptop running linux, an xserver, and rhythmbox, mounted on the wall with some headphones attached. Music will be added to the listening station over SSH. It will contain all the non-proprietary music of the forest artists and anyone else who wants to donate music or other audio, along with any art that goes with each album. The public can go up to the listening station and listen to the music. They can then buy copies of the music, or visit websites to download. They may also learn that free software can do cool stuff. If we don't get this laptop in time, other voices in the forest will win out, and they will buy an ipod, which supports only proprietary formats. So we're looking for someone's unused laptop to be donated for the project. We don't need much in the way of specs: * Semi-decent sound hardware, so the music will sound okay through a decent pair of headphones that we will provide. * At least 5GB hard disk space, 6GB would be okay, 40GB would be ideal. So far we've had a few offers that were not up to spec, and a couple that sounded good but haven't come through yet. Can anyone donate a laptop for this cool project? Please get in touch.
