Re: [PLUG] To buy old IDE drives to make Ubuntu machines for our Mission

[Nick Michael(PtaISP) <nic...@pt...>]

Hi there

There seems to be a misunderstanding I am not looking for donations or a
free drive

I am looking to buy one or two old IDE drives +/-30Gb if it is at a
reasonable price
I can buy a 500GB SATA drive for +/- R300 from  Sahara

It is for our mission I wish to build up two old machines with Ubuntu Linux
The one will go into a computer I am building for a  man (Chrisostom) 
from Zaire who has been training at our seminary
The other will be given to Our Archbishop to give to a poor school in
our Country Soweto , Soshnguve or Tembisa

Our Archbishop has been  collecting old machines ( I know of one which I
repaired which was donated to a school in Soweto ) .
I also know of a missionary who is collecting old hardware for a mission
in Uganda
He has a netbook and I have given him Ubuntu to load on it

For those who want to know about the mission is  of the Patriarchate of
Alexandria and All Africa , This is the oldest African Church

Nick

I'm trying to organize a removable HDD with repo's on it, like we had last
year, I'm also bring my laptop, and some blank CD's and DVD's

If someone has a problem with 1 May for this, please let us know, reply to
Ubuntu-ZA mailing list please, I thought we might start it earlier than last
time, from around 10am?

Any comments/suggestions, lets keep it on the Ubuntu-ZA mailing list.

[PLUG] Its 15 days to the launch of Ubuntu 10.04 : Join us at the Launch Party

[Nick Michael(PtaISP) <nic...@pt...>]

Hi there

Today its 15 days to the launch of Ubuntu 10.04.

 we are trying to arrange a Launch Party in Pretoria at a venue we can
agree on.

I don't want to jump the gun so if someone is busy planning this please
let me know post haste however if not we will look at this.

If we get agreement from the various stakeholders and members , we are
"thinking" of doing it again at  "the* Karoo* Cattle and Land -
restaurant in Irene (Pretoria)"  will be the venue (as was two release
parties ago)

More details to follow regarding a launch Party in Pretoria after we get
feedback from the steakholders and members of the 3 lists I have sent
this message to.

Please rsvp to Corrie Strydom or Walter Leibrand or me


If we get agreement to have it again in Irene:
--------------------------------------------------
I have spoken to the people at that restaurant and am prepared to make
the arrangements , provide a WIFI hotspot and a Ethernet Network as well
as a long mains cable for the laptops
Just bring along you memory sticks , laptops and join us there


This message is going to the following lists:
GLUG
PRETLUG
UBUNTU-ZA

If you see that it did not reach one of these lists Please do me a great
favour and forward it to that list


kind regards
Nick
