Re: [libreoffice-users] working on a CD distribution disc for LO

Well someone needs to do this for those who cannot.

I am on the Board of Directors for a Kiwanis organization dedicated to 
Adults with Disabilities - Aktion Club [aktionclub-elmira.org for local 
one].  Most of them are developmentally disables and live in group 
homes.  Every member must be an adult with a disability.  That is one 
way I volunteer locally.

Finding these old computers and giving then new homes, is another way of 
volunteering.  It is hard to find ones that either work or can be 
cheaply made to work, with monitors the hardest to find.  But for those 
who do not have a computer, any old slow working computer, that can do 
basic office work and access email and web pages through free dial-up 
access, is worth while to them.

Having my computer do volunteering with distributed computing projects 
is a third way for my to volunteer, one that does not stress my back and 
neck injuries, plus it is done 24/7/356 in the background without much 
maintenance/input on my part except for choosing which projects to work 
with and how much CPU time I allow the system to use.  I am now in the 
top 1% worldwide for this computer-volunteering.
