I'm not sure I'm as experienced with #linux as I'd like to be in order to fully run such a thing by myself, or even if there's that much interest by my community. But I'm willing to give it a shot with or without some partners I think.

I just, as in this morning, sold a refurbished ThinkPad laptop with Linux on it to someone in my local community. I sold two desktops with Linux yesterday (one Intel NUC mini PC and one Dell Optiplex 5040 SFF). It does make a difference. You and I have different motivations, but some overlap in values. Go for it! Get a computer prepped with Linux and see if you can sell it, trade something for it, or give it away. #Linux

@pmbrandvold I would be interested in helping with this. I've been considering a similar community focused tech repair/fix/refurb kinda event.
