From: Andrew Loch <loch at dstc.edu.au>

Myself and some other people are starting a queensland branch of
Computerbank

http://www.computerbank.org.au

an organisation that seeks donations of hardware (or cash to buy
hardware) and then configures this hardware with linux and other free
software (for licensing reasons, not religous :)  packages and donates
the hardware to people and/or organisations who can not afford to buy
a computer system for themselves.

DSTC has graciously allowed us to meet here and will host a web-page
and mailing list. 

We need bodies, machines and cash. 

If you would like to be involved in the project in any way at all (you
do not need to be a technical person, we'll need admin, fundraising,
instructors/teachers etc) please email me.  This doesn't need to eat
up your entire life, a night a week or fortnight would be good. We may
only need a sat or sun every month or so. These things aren't really
known yet.

Our next meeting will be somewhere in GPS this wednesday (the 23rd of
Aug) at 7pm. 




I'm going to this meeting tonight to see how Humbug can help, if you can
come along, great, otherwise send any ides to me and i'll pass them along.
