Present: Kevin, Phil, Joe, Elena, Forest, Tom
:: Elena Takes FreeBox Home
Elena picked up her FreeBox and chose a printer. Kevin worked on a
number of printers until he found one that worked and suited Elena.
There were problems with a new FreeBox Elena had chosen so she went back
to the first FreeBox we had set up for her with OpenOffice.
:: New XP Device Tester and Burner
Kevin marked a donated P4 box with XP Pro loaded to use as a hardware
testing and CD burning box. The box is password protected so I will hack
it to clear the Administrator password. I didn't have the hacking
software with me. If anyone is interested, I will demo the software next
Tuesday.
:: Projector for Class
Forest dropped off his digital projector for Chuq and Kevin to use
Saturday at the Perley FreeBox class. I sent an email to Nichole letting
her know about the projector and presentation and asking her to borrow a
portable screen from Perley school if possible. The walls at the
Northeast Neighborhood Center are not favorable to projection.
:: FreeBox Banner
Nichole had asked me to put up the FGM banner at FreeBox classes to make
it easier for participants to find the Neighborhood Center as they drive
by. The banner was in the shop for repairs. On Monday, I asked the shop
owner to finish the repair or let me have the banner as is for use this
weekend. Today (Thu.) the owner still has not found the banner. He has
misplaced or destroyed it, and we have no banner as far as I know. I
will find better vendor who will construct a new banner for us.
:: 20 Monitors
Habitat for Humanity dropped off 20 monitors and other gear. They didn't
contact us in advance about the drop-off and therefore didn't know that
we charge for receiving monitors. Forest, Phil and I counted the
monitors and sorted the keyboards, printers, scanners and miscellaneous
cables. If we test the monitors, Men of Scars will take the good ones,
and the rest will be recycled. A supporter of Habitat for Humanity
acknowledged the mistake and has offered to pay the monitor fees.
:: Call from Andre
Andre says he is back at work at the Hummer plant in the body shop. He
is physically exhausted at the end of the day but plans to volunteer
again when he is conditioned to the hard work.
