[sf-lug] New ultra low cost linux PC

[Romel Jacinto]

Continuing Grant's efforts on background research of this project, here 
is the link to the latest report from the UK Charity Commission about 
the foundation.

http://www.charity-commission.gov.uk/Showcharity/RegisterOfCharities/CharityWithoutPartB.aspx?RegisteredCharityNumber=1129409&SubsidiaryNumber=0

The report shows that in 2010 the foundation had relatively little 
income and expense (approximately $270 and $750, respectively) so I'm 
not sure how active the project is now but the premise of their project 
does sound like a very interesting idea.
