Roadmap: (To do items...in order)
Petition local organizations to donate functional machines. (In progress)
- prefer 500mhz or greater, and intact. Other specs are variable.
Determine central meeting place. (Holding)
- get the computers working, up to certain spec, and install Ubuntu.
Develop our Linux package. (In Discussion)
- consider using Edubuntu, or a derivative, that will run on slow machines.
- it would be preferably to have a Mirror of Wikipedia on the machines (almost 10gb of data)
- try to standardize the package for slipstreaming.
Locate suitable donation candidates and expand the project. (In Discussion)
Topics of discussion:
- Who can get machines? How many and what kind of Specs?
- What should our MINIMUM baseline specs be? Most utilities will run reasonably well on 500mhz.
- What do we want in our Linux Package? Who has the expertise to slipstream this into one install CD?
All of this is in order of priority. I will update this post periodically with important info from the thread.
