Hey Miguel,<div><br></div><div>unfortunately I don't know anybody who's doing it here in Edinburgh.</div><div>I wanted to start a conversation about it at the Hacklab, but I've been really busy recently.</div><div>
<br></div><div>I know one of the founder of the project, Jake Harries, and I think  he's really keen to open up collaboration.</div><div>He runs one of the oldest hackerspace in UK, the Access Space in Sheffield.</div>

<br>
is there anyone/anyplace in Edinburgh helping people turn old laptops in zerodollar ones?<br>
<br>
I would like to finally enter the wrold of freeware and linux but would find going through to to Glasgow even more problematic than previously (but not impossible I guess).<br>

I've got a dell 6400 (core2, 2GB, intel graphics ).<br>

No power supply for either. Both work (I think).<br>

Does the club, or anyone the list want either or both. If so, I can drop<br>
them off at the club this weekend.<br>
