Help Spread OSS



Hello Everybody,

 

I don’t know if any one of you already know, but I am a Community Assistant in Daniell Heights Apartments. Each year we are doing a project for the community and this year I chose to spread OS software and Linux to the residents in an effort to persuade people to switch from their pirated versions of Windows and MS Office to Linux to keep it legal and keep it “real”.

 

I have created a CD exclusively for windows users with all the popular replacements and I chose Ubuntu 5.04 Live CD for those who wish to try out Linux and install some windows apps at the same time(Ubuntu Live CD has a few on it).

 

I have $125 in my budget to pay for the blank CDs. However, there is no frigging way I can burn this many CDs alone. If you can volunteer to burn a few CDs please email me and I will try to arrange a meeting to give you some blanks and the original and then pick them up.

 

Additionally, there will be a short talk for the residents at the community room in the Daniell Heights and after that people will be able to ask any computer/OSS/etc questions for little bit. We need volunteers for that too.

 

As a reward for those who volunteer I will reserve $25 for pizza.

 

The date is not firmly set, but it will take place either on Friday 15 or Sunday 17.

 

That’s pretty much it. If you would like to participate, please email me.

 

Thanks,
