BBOSI
(pronounced "bossy", short for Blueskin Bay Open
Source
Initiative) based at Warrington School are working
on a project to
recycle computers and give them away to
those who need one.
Our aim is to spread the knowledge of
Open Source software such as
Ubuntu, teach digital
independence and recycle computers.
Last week we sent a
free computer to a man in Dunedin so he could go
on Gmail
to video-chat to his grandchildren in Auckland. It
was
awesome that we could give him a computer ready to
go, we also gave
him some music applications on the
computer.
We have got a lot more computers to give away.
If you would like one
come and talk with one of our BBOSI
team - Isaac, Shea, Finn, Indy and
Joshua or phone
Warrington School on 482
2605.
