This past Monday we took our first concrete steps towards our first workshop. Six people came together to deal with half a living room of computer parts. We took apart the computers, sorted and labeled the parts, set up a test machine and sneezed a lot thanks to all the dust!

We also took the initiative to do some organizational work, starting with a new email account. You can reach our group at [email protected]

We are keeping close tabs on our inventory, so we can also give some of our initial numbers in regards to donations:

• 8x Power Supplies and cases
• 16x Sticks of RAM (average of 256MB)
• 10x Video cards
• 16x Ethernet/Modem cards
• 10x Hard Drives (average of 40GB)
• 9x Motherboards (7x with processors)

With our initial goal of 5 computers for 5 children we have way more than enough parts to build them suitable machines! We will be having another meeting next week to test parts and prepare for our event on the 28th!

A big thanks to Rob, Nathan, Ana, Michelle and Raymond for coming out and working hard! I know a few people could not make it because of class so we look forward to seeing you guys next week!
