installfest. </LI></UL>
<P><SPAN class=text>Fellow Austin Geeks,<BR><BR>As you know, I've cut back
on the GeekAustin parties because I've been working on the GeekAustin free
IT classes and Linux Against Poverty.<BR><BR>I've just published the July
update at the Linux Against Poverty website:<BR><BR></SPAN><A
href="http://linuxagainstpoverty.org/july-update"
target=_blank>http://linuxagainstpoverty.org/july-update</A> <SPAN
class=text><BR><BR>The first Austin install fest will be on Saturday
August 1st. We can still use a few more volunteers. We can also use your
leftover computers (tax receipts can be provided). If your employer has a
stack of decommissioned computers (you know -- those windows machines that
became virus ridden from surfing myspace and whatever else). We'll put
Linux on them and distribute them to children who need them.<BR><BR>We are
now starting to solicit sponsors. Some of the items we will need to rent
for the install fest are work tables and chairs, extension cables and
network cables. We'd also like to provide beverages and snacks for the
volunteers. If you or your company would like to be a sponsor for
LinuxAgainstPoverty, send me a note at lynnbender@geekaustin.org<BR><BR>We
are also seeking translators to help render the LAP docs in to other
languages. If you're a native or near native speaker of Spanish, French,
German, or Dutch, and would be interested in helping out, send me a
note.<BR><BR>After the install fest, there will be a party. Everyone knows
how I like parties, and I'm looking to make this one double plus good.
Having a volunteer badge at the party will most likely have some benefits.
wink wink.<BR><BR>You can find all the details at:<BR><BR></SPAN><A
