[imc-tech-solidarity] imc-tech-solidarity funding proposal

[Brandon Faloona]

The computers donated by SVSD to the Seattle imc are going to be picked up
by some roving imcistas (evan, joshua, jeff) and driven to a portland
warehouse where they will be rebuilt and prepared for transport to s.
america.

Thus, I propose that the Seattle IMC pay for:

1) cost of uhaul from (and back to) portland
$250 total (could be $300)

2) RAM for all the computers we are sending to portland . I estimate: 100
computers x 128MB @ $25, but I still don't have a good source or a solid
quote at that price.  Worst case scenario, we can get 64MB chips.
$2500 total

3) stipend thank you gifts to the business that stored the computers over
the last 2 months, and to the volunteers trekking from portland to deliver
them.
$50 total

Grand Total: $2800 to get the computers equipped with ram and delivered to
one of imc's tech-solidarity hubs.

I'll propose this at the seattle GM tues night, but I wanted to get input
here as well.
