Microsoft wants you to buy a new computer.
But what if you could make your current one fast and secure again?

Dear Dashamir,
thank you for the link you sent. What a coincidence! Yesterday @raphael during the LUGBZ Meeting told us about this initiative.
I would be very happy to participate with a setting like this:
- we find local companies that are decommissioning old W10 PCs because not compatible with W11
- we organize an event where we install all or part of the PCs with GNU/Linux
- the PCs can be tried and taken home by visitors (priority to students)
- we could involve the donors (companies) which could be interested to re-use some of their PCs trying a better OS than the old one with planned obsolescence.
- food & music
Other ideas? Who would like to participate?
Who is in contact with companies that are replacing their PCs?
Best greetings,
Paolo.

Thank you Andreas!
The organization behind EndOf10 asks groups and associations to add Places and Events where people can get help. New Places and Events can be sent in JSON format as explained here: https://endof10.org/contribute/
We need to add
- the Monday Desk at Spazio77
- the Free Software Fridays
Who can help in sending this information within May 18?
Thanks,
Paolo.
Ich habe in Brixen im Jänner 2020 zum Ende von Windows7 eine Aktion gestartet, die dann wg Corona in anderer Form weiter lief.
Meine Gedanken zu endof10:
- möglichst im ganzen Land verteilt, muss nicht an einem Tag stattfinden.
- sollte medial gut unterstützt werden. Ich erreiche z.B. beim repairCafé in Brixen nur die Leute, die ins RepairCafé kommen, aber nicht die richtige Zielgruppe. Da braucht es noch gute Ideen
- Vielleicht eine eigene Website mit den ganzen Terminen und flyer mit qr-Code zur website überall verteilen.
- Argumente für Linux sammeln
- Unterschiedliche Wechselreize ansprechen: Umwelt, Datenschutz, Lock-in, keine BigTech füttern, …, eigenen Linux-PC mit nach Hause nehmen können
