They'll be showing us all the cool things you can do with CL and try to convince us why we should give up the other languages we code in to use CL instead. Beyond learning about a different programming language, this talk is sure to stir up some animated discussion about the applicability of programming languages to various environments.

Her school is WAY underfunded and she currently has zero functioning computers for her kids to use. Keep in mind that these are kids who are all on free lunch programs and certainly do not have computers at home. Unfortunately the budget cuts also eviscerated any semblance of IT for the schools computers as well so there is very little chance of any broken systems getting fixed. I was wondering if any DC401ers had any old systems laying around that they would be willing to donate (old monitors would be welcome also). I was planning on installing linux on them (maybe Edbuntu? Suggestions?). The kids really only need basic web surfing and word processing capabilities but this would go a long way towards keeping them technologically up to date with their more fortunate peers. I will try to get tax vouchers for anyone who donates a system but I have never done this so I'm not sure how they value the systems. Additionally, if anyone has any time or expertise that they would be willing to give to this little project they will be richly compensated in pizza and beer.

I've sent her an invite. Told her we couldn't offer an honorarium, but that she's welcome to bring a bag of kits and she'd probably sell out. :) We'll see if she bites. -j -- ducksauz DC401 Organizer Monkey and Benevolent Dictator http://dc401.org From ducksauz at dc401.org Tue Aug 26 16:26:42 2008 From: ducksauz at dc401.org (ducksauz) Date: Tue, 26 Aug 2008 20:26:42 +0000 Subject: [dc401-l] Old systems for a good cause In-Reply-To: <51174.96.233.159.14.1219548021.squirrel@webmail.project87.com> References: <1b43f0850808221014x7dcd1c85v1762d4e9b5dbb55@mail.gmail.com> <20080822232342.GK13876@ironzilla.as220.org> <51174.96.233.159.14.1219548021.squirrel@webmail.project87.com> Message-ID: <48B46702.8040405@dc401.org> OK Everyone. Let's use the tuesday night hack on Sept 16th to get this done. Megan's looking for at least 4 machines for her Mom's classroom, but if we come up with more, she's sure the school will find a use for them. Let's try to have the machine in a state where they'll boot and take an OS load. That way we don't have to spend too much time troubleshooting hardware and can just do the Edubuntu installs and pile them all into Megan's car. Drop me a note directly with what you've got available and I'll add it to the main wiki[1] (which is kind of messed up right now and I'm going to replace it with MoinMoin.) Remember, if you've got monitors, she needs those too. -j [1] http://dc401.org/wiki/index.php/OldSystemsForaGoodCause -- ducksauz DC401 Organizer Monkey and Benevolent Dictator http://dc401.org From ducksauz at dc401.org Wed Aug 27 17:21:40 2008 From: ducksauz at dc401.org (ducksauz) Date: Wed, 27 Aug 2008 21:21:40 +0000 Subject: [dc401-l] The meeting schedule is bare...

Chris Erway offered to present but I haven't hear back from him yet. I'm thinking Jan or Feb for him depending on when he's in town. I wanted to hold off on playing CTF until Dan has gotten through a couple more installments of his pen testing series. Mc wrote: > Brandon: > > I like the ideas you have proposed.
