Computer Angels' volunteers and members are a diverse group including a chef, electronics engineers and technicians, office administrators, painters, teachers, artists, retirees and the usual suspects, i.e. programmers and those interested in tweaking computer hardware:) With so many different backgrounds, skills and time available makes for an interesting mix of ideas and projects.
Computer equipment that cannot be refurbished into a desktop Linux box, may be used for a firewall, router, or developing an electronics project using embedded Linux.
Many of our volunteers are hoarders and are very reluctant to pass *stuff* to the recycler - "_it_ might be useful for something", is the usual refrain. If it is unusual or antique we may have the opportunity to provide the Computer Museum with an exhibit.
Yes, we have FUN, and the best part is contributing and participating in a community that is enthused about Open Source, Linux and reduce/reuse/recycle.
ACCRC is terrific inspiration, and I can see that we are going to need a larger premises.
