[ILUG] Help spread Linux in the devleoping world!

Irish Linux Users,

I am part of a new Irish charity called Camara (http://www.camara.ie).
Camara was set up to send computers to educational institutions in
Africa. This June we will be sending about 100 computers to schools
in Ethiopia, as well as 12 volunteers (myself included) to teach them
how to use them.

All our machines have Linux installed on them, for obvious reasons :)

However going to Ethiopia is not cheap, flights and injections will
cost a lot. We'd very much appreciate financial donations, we have all
the machines we need for the moment. So if you'd like to help Africa
join the world wide web, or want to see Linux (and all that it
represents) being spread to new countries, please visit
http://www.camara.ie/help.htm to make a donation via PayPal.
Please donate as much as you can.

Ireland has a history of being charitable, this is a chance to be
charitable about Linux, Open Source and technology.

Thanks in advance

Rory McCann
