LUGOD has been working with the Davis
Community Network to help them install Linux on a set of old, refurbished
PC's.
The PC's will then be distributed by DCN to schools, libraries, etc.
DCN typically meets to work on the refurbished machines at around 5:30pm
on a weekday. See the LUGOD main page
for any announcements of upcoming DCN meetings.
Linux Classes:
LUGOD is also working with DCN to host public, Linux-related classes.
The classes we've created so far are:
Introduction to Linux
November 15, 1999 - Presented by Bill Kendrick
Introduction to Linux
March 5, 2001 - Presented by Bill Kendrick
There is a DCN Committee in LUGOD, headed by Foo Lim:
The Davis Community Network (DCN) recognizes the wealth of information
available to the public and the lack of computers to access them at the
public access points such as schools. LUGOD works with DCN to install
Linux distributions on donated older computer hardware. DCN will be the
primary distributor of the computers throughout the community of Davis and
surrounding areas. Installations are usually at 5:30pm Tuesdays or
Wednesdays at the trailers at
1623 5th street between L street and Poleline
which will be changed at the end of September. Thursday
installations have been proposed.
