[Commcomp] DANEnet Volunteer Opportunities in December

[Matt Eberly]

Hello Volunteers,

This will be DANEnet's last volunteer opportunity for 2006. We'll be  
meeting again at Bridge/Lake Point Neighborhood Center to work on  
more computers for a neighborhood computer class and try to get some  
printers working.

PROJECT 1. Wed. December 20 at 6:30PM - Bridge/Lake Point  
Neighborhood Center
1917 Lake Point Drive, Madsion (Day of Service meeting place)

The staff at Bridge is starting some beginning computer classes and  
at the end of the class, they would like to give away one computer to  
each student from their community. DANEnet has some computers left  
over from  last year's Day of Service which would be perfect for a  
home user.

Last meeting, the group got through more than a dozen PCs. We'd like  
to set aside 10 computer systems, compete with monitor, keyboard,  
mouse, modems and some open source software. Please bring your PC  
repair tools and we'll get to work. This could go late if we run into  
a lot of problems but don't feel like you have to stay all night.  
There are also three public use computers at the neighborhood center  
with problems so it would be great to resolve those issues at the  
same time.

PROJECT 2. Wed. December 20 at 6:30PM - Troubleshoot printer for  
William St. Arts Center
1917 Lake Point Drive, Madison (Day of Service meeting place)

DANEnet has three HP Business Inkjet printers (HP 2280 and 2300  
series) all donated from a local college. We are unsure of their  
functionality so I'm hoping someone could take them and if possible,  
get a least one working for the William Street Arts Center. These  
three printers will be at the Bridge/Lake Point Neighborhood Center  
to work on there or take with to work in your shop. If you can get  
one printer working, your next step will be to take it to the William  
St. Arts Center on Madison's east side and install on their single  
Win2000 PC.



If you are interested in further volunteer opportunities, please sign  
yourself up for the CommunityIT commcomp listserv. Head to http:// 
www.danenet.org/mailman/listinfo/commcomp to signup. This is best way  
to receive alerts about upcoming projects. Its a very low-traffic  
listserv so don't worry about getting tons of messages every day.
