First of all, you're all preaching to the choir. Second, I have a friend in Nicaragua that runs a non-profit that could use your help. He has computers that are old and the latest technology will not run on it. I would be more than happy to pass on info on how to contact him so that you all can start working on setting up newer computers with Open Source software and take them down there and teach them how to use them. I have benefited greatly from Open Source and the hard work of the community, but I have a connection to the internet and a computer as well as money to purchase the latest hardware. A majority of "the world" does not have this benefit. Free software only works on unfree hardware.
