then gives them to Austin or Central Texas kids who normally would
not be able to afford one. Linux Against Poverty is an annual event
put together in order to collect those computers while members of
the Austin Tech Community gather to repair and prepare them to be
given away.

“We had initially planned a May event but with South By South
West happening within that 90 day window, we thought it would be a
good idea to let both events have some breathing room.”
