@PttP You can check those pages at my local library to get a sense of what our project looks like. We're still getting going, just a couple months in. But it comes down to installing GNU/Linux (Mint) on donated computers as well as offering install assistance to folks that want to switch. Then, light support, classes at the library on using free software, GNU/Linux, Security/Privacy and more as we roll along. If you have a local library I'd suggest starting with them if you need a space.

I like that!

I like that!
(I'm not in Missouri, but wishing you success!)

I love the mission, got too much on my plate at the moment to pitch in, but I'm cheering from the sidelines!

@TechpriestBaunach Cheering is appreciated!
@dennyhenke "If you're in Missouri and want to share Free Software with others I'm looking for folks to join in the effort."
Yes to both! Beyond that I'm probably not exactly the demographic you're looking for (old, not very tech savvy), but I've been using Linux for years (GUI only), and love it!
I can't get my various networks into FOSS and out of oligarch-owned media, tech, etc., but I do what I can, when I can.
Would love to hear what you have in mind...

@PttP Anyone interested in sharing software freedom is welcome. I've only jumped in a few months ago, just using GUI and, to be honest, most of the folks I expect to be working with will have never touched a command line. But we need everyone willing to help in their community. My original post shared the link to the LibrePlanet Missouri page. I'm adding the link to our local project below. It's a collaboration between myself, the local library and a local non-profit.

@PttP I'd like to see my current effort of one turn into a #FreeSoftware user group that can multiply the offering. #Rural #Missouri is fairly impoverished, I think if we can keep at it we'll slowly raise an awareness of what #GNU #Linux and Free Software can do for people on a budget. And, along with that, improve local users' knowledge, #computing self-reliance and willingness to help other users is #MutualAid. A seed that can be planted anywhere if there's a local gardener to care for it. 🙂 🌱
