Aktion 23 Fnorum

#OpEquip
v.1.0

"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

This is the beginning to an idea. I would like to see this passed around and improved upon. If you think you can help, by all means please give your input. I would like to see Anonymous and Occupy Wall St work together on this nationwide. I think this could be a very effective long term Op to improve the quality of life where it is needed most; In our poorest communitites. I am hoping there is enough information here that any occupation across the US can run with this idea.

Idea:
Collection of old unwanted laptops and desktops for wipe/repair/consolidation to reinstall with Open Source education software for distribution in poor communities to families without computers. If we can expand the mind of children, and get them used to using computers, we can give them a hand up in education and schooling.


Community outreach for donations:
Each city would be spear headed via local Occupy - flyering, outreach to businesses, community organizations, neighborhoods, churches, and schools


Collections:
We would need either a garage or workspace to not only collect the computers, but to use as an upgrade/installation centers Internet access at these locations is a must.


Repair/Rebuild:
A training class would be needed to teach any volunteers what they are doing with repair and upgrade/consolidation. Would need at least one person with enough knowledge to troubleshoot hardware issues during consolidation and repair of computers.


OS and requirements:
Ubuntu 12:04 (trash unity, go with cinnamon interface)
A Pentium 4, 1GHz system is the minimum recommended for a desktop system.

The idea is to give them as much ability as possible to jump start not only thier education, but also health/nutrition/finance software for parents. Anything that can be useful should be included. **


Community outreach for receiving:
Compile some sort of list? as to who is in need. This could possibly be fast tracked by reaching out to schools, churches, community organizations, and through friends. It also never hurts to walk through communities and just TALK to people to find out what thiers and others needs are.

Wortfeld hat geschrieben:Liebe Kostenloskulturellen.

Mit meinem Anwalt
habe ich diese ganzen offenen Briefe überflogen
und sehe mich daher genötigt,
sofort ein Gedicht zu schreiben.

Ihre Haltung ganz allgemein
ist ebenso irrelevant wie passé
und hinterlässt mich daher
belustigt.

Ganz offensichtlich
wollen Sie nicht verstehen,
wie wir die Probleme
im Internet lösen können.

Aus der Wikipedia
sollte jeder wissen,
dass Ihre Position großartig ist.

Somit hoffe ich,
dass mein Gedicht
diese Diskussion endlich verlängert.

(Und damit vorerst basta!)
