[Fwd: [Seattle-editorial] computers to donate]

[Sheri Herndon]

this is a great offer and great to know that we have this kind of ally at antioch.  we need to nurture our relationships with folks.

i agree with rick on this in terms of we don't have a home and if we take these computers at the moment, we will then just have to move them.

i'd like to find out from erik what the deadline is on this.  depending on our future, we may be able to use them or find a home for them.  there's also the freegeek folks in portland.

in terms of needs for seattle members, i'd like to request that one of these computers be given to joyce glasgow.  she is doing alot for us right now in terms of finding a new place and helping us get on track.  i think that her inclusion into the discussion would be highly valuable but she can't get on line because she lacks a computer.

any concerns about that?  

who is liaisoning with erik?
