[volunteers] Occupy Linux

[Mehma Sarja]

If the Occupy participants are shown the Linux desktop and the freedom 
it represents, it would be one way that they can protest by ditching 
proprietary OSes. A silent, legal and lasting action on the part of a 
non-techie... imagine the possibilities. I am guessing, but a Linux 
installfest attracts people who want to try the OS. The challenge lies 
in "taking the mountain to Muhammad" and introducing the OS to people 
who may not come to an installfest. To take the OS to people who can see 
the promise it holds and spread the message. We could Gimp a rendering 
of Moses and superimpose him carrying a couple of laptops with penguin 
logos. We can call it project Hallelujah!

I have a dozen or so Neoware thin clients with 128 MB flash on which a 
Slitaz.org distro can be installed and runs nicely in 512 MB RAM. We 
could setup demos and help people install on their machines. We can 
donate the thin clients and see what happens.

Anyone up to the risk?
