All Lugs in Ontario

[Chris]

Hi all,

*I am looking for a list of all the Active lug web pages in Ontario.*
*
*

My lug takes desktops and laptops that are donated.
*The computers are "Given Free of charge" to Students & people in need.*
*They are also repaired Free of charge by Volunteers.(serial numbers and
names are recorded)*

  The Bruce Grey Linux Users Group (BGLUG) collects used computer equipment
(nothing below a Pentium 4), makes sure it all works and builds computers
for high school students who do not have access to a computer at home. BGLUG
loads a version of Linux which is free shareware that has no license and is
not pirated software. The computers have their own version of a Power Point
Presentation, word processor, spreadsheet etc. They are also set up to save
in a Microsoft format so that the students can take their work to school and
print it off.

The project runs out of the United Way Center and the computers are given
out through agencies of the United Way or by referrals from the schools.

  *Guidelines for accessing the United Way’s S.T.A.R.S. Computer Project*

*S*upplying *T*echnology to *A*t *R*isk *S*tudents

*The decisions of United Way staff are final.*

   1.

   Priority is given to disabled students, who have been referred to the
   program by local schools
   2.

   Priority is given to high school, college or university students with no
   computer in the home
   3.

   Students are required to present proof of enrolment (student card, report
   card, phone call from the school, referral from a community agency are all
   acceptable forms of ‘proof’.)
   4.

   If there are no students on the list, then community individuals are
   welcome to have their name put on the waiting list.
   5.

   There is no guarantee that anyone person will ever receive a computer,
   supply is always limited

   *
   *

   *Desktops vs. Laptops*


   1.

   Laptops are reserved exclusively for students, documentation must be
   provided.
   2.

   If there are no students waiting for a desktop computer then the next
   available individual on the list is called, given 5 days to respond prior to
   going to the next person on the list
   3.

   The list is accessed first come, first serve



I think I can say I am Truly a Linux Pusher.

Chris. (a.k.a. Linux Pusher)
