[sf-lug] 500 F/OSS Computers to Schools... THIS SATURDAY!!

[Sarah Mei]

I'll be at the Novato location from 2-4. From the sign-up sheet it
seems they could use more volunteers - maybe post it on upcoming? Or a
more linux-y equivalent? I just looked and there aren't many
linux-related events listed.
