The mix of personas and needs and aptitude is a lot of fun for me.<br/><br/>A (recurring) community give back day is what I&#39;ve been trying to figure out how to start for a while. Especially in my local area.<br/><br/>The Harriet Alexander Nature Center does building rentals and I was considering how fun it would be to encourage folks to come drop off computer stuff and go for a walk or something and then come back. <a href="https://cityofroseville.com/637/Building-Rentals#tab150b1097-e828-4c2e-b4b0-8af361033695_1">https://cityofroseville.com/637/Building-Rentals#tab150b1097-e828-4c2e-b4b0-8af361033695_1</a> 2026-03-07T13:04:31Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs8tw0pmf2gs85ecnygfxufwqt5kd9gefrgz5agctp77mmxp3dq0uszyzyqwphmzn65kcehchg72xhz82s0kv8r8277q6a23nwjvel64nclklkzk5a In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqstygwytav9ftndmm5pmyxww650nszqlsqygnmxpcmc0jfmnx2xnas9nxq45'>nevent1q…xq45</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I hadn&#39;t heard of the Restart Project so thanks for that link!<br/><br/>I&#39;m also in the &#34;it would be nice&#34; category and I&#39;ve done some initial research in on-off times. At the Roseville area schools/library I think they have some limited repair classes and I&#39;d offered to teach a class on some tech repair stuff but haven&#39;t heard anything back yet. I&#39;d done some other looking around and noticed it&#39;s possible to rent a community space for relatively cheap and thought about doing that and making it an open invite etc.<br/><br/>I&#39;ve got technical experience w/ linux and a lot of macos and other devices to feel comfortable tackling most things &#34;reinstall OS + drivers&#34; related. Could also do computer upgrade tasks if people already had parts. Things like swapping/installing ram or hard drives in peoples computers or the like.<br/><br/>I&#39;ve also loved the idea of creating a community/recurring event on the &#34;check out linux&#34; or &#34;don&#39;t be afraid of the command line&#34; kind of events for anyone of any skill level. 2026-03-06T23:35:56Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqszt64fq4djzurlfj9l89vz9d2dytd0jhwxgneqpv4wm3vee99tzxczyzyqwphmzn65kcehchg72xhz82s0kv8r8277q6a23nwjvel64nclkcmuucv In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsp9d443cv3xuhrul59zz3q5sgw9aygmhe099zl492vgzxtf6eexkgsah02s'>nevent1q…h02s</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I would be interested in helping with this. I&#39;ve been considering a similar community focused tech repair/fix/refurb kinda event. 2026-03-05T17:09:52Z
