Help a Needy Child get a Linux Powered Computer just by Clicking Your Mouse

Jeff91 · 01. Feb 2011, 12:40 PM

I would like to take a moment to ask all of you to take a moment out of your day to help a wonderful group of people called the Helios Initiative.

The Helios Initiative is a not for profit organization, based out of Austin Texas, that restores old, donated computers and gives them free of charge to those that are in need of them. Instead of using costly, restrictive, proprietary software to restore these computers the Helios Initiative uses free open source software.

They have been entered in a costest that could win them some free funding to continue their work. For more information on this, see my blog post here

tl/dr Help out a great group of people that provide needy children with Linux computers with just a mouse click. Between 9am CST on Feb 1st 2011 and 9am CST on Feb 3rd 2011 go here and click the like button. Please note I am posting this at 7am CST

Cheers,
~Jeff Hoogland

Sounds like facebook sucking up to me. Give it a try again later.

No "Like" link there now. Whether it is because of my earlier click taking effect or not I don't know.
