[ALUG] Working group 2 (Collaboration Workspace)

[Adili]

Those box are useful you can get new ATX board,processor,RAM & power supply and fit into them with a budget of 200 to 400$ you can reuse those boxes. Another way is to donate those box+board to school let the kids learn about the hardware parts of PC some kid have not seen the inside of a PC they can be used for training too.

"No electronics are working" doesn't sound very promising. Unless you have someone who can dedicate time to taking out bits and pieces and trying to cobble together some working machines, I'd say you're probably better off letting them go as scrap.

I've seen the following suggestions so far regarding uses for the technology:

1. a hosting platform for people to develop and deploy applications

2. implied: Internet access for ATF members. Would you consider that the ATF members are mostly going to have their own laptops? If so, all you really need to provide is wifi.

3. a sort of cyber-cafe for people to use for training workshops and Internet access (including schools)

Option 3 sounds to me like a community outreach type of activity. Definitely a laudible aim, but beware that it will make bigger demands on the forum in terms of space, power, number of desktops/laptops, and time spent administering the lab. For this type of activity, perhaps it would be better to partner with an existing college or university who already has a lab?
