Oh I had something up here in the East Valley that was called the Linux
initiative with my lug. We gave away about a dozen computers with mint and
we started doing more Raspberry Pi stuff. We ended up giving away only a 10
Raspberry Pi's but the children that received the were extremely grateful.
Tomorrow I'm meeting with some Youth Foundation in Tempe and I'm going to
be doing some pi and other stuff. However I also realize there's this
competition called cyberpatriot or something and I wanted to get those kids
started with preparing for next year's competition. At scale this year they
were having a capture the flag on Ubuntu when it would be better I think to
use Kali. It's just I wanted to know if I could get the kids some cheap
docking stations because now even the pi docking stations cost more.

 that being said I worked at the Department of Education and they hired me
to implement a proprietary software solution because they spent 19 million
dollars on Moodle with Drupal. I was a side myself.
