June In Bratislava,
Dell corporation along with NGO Pontis created a project of giving away used DELL computers from DELL call centre in Bratislava. Around 77 non-governmental organizations received 280 computers with Ubuntu cds, Slovak manual and online support from Slovak Open Source Initiative(SKOSI.org). Most receivers are working with handicapped people like Slovak Union of sightless and Sight-Impaired or with children and schools. Around 30 - 40 % of the NGOs welcomed free and open source software on their computers. Around 10% asked for K Desktop Environment (KDE), which means they know it before.
For the open call in April, we had 711 applicant for 3680 computers, which clearly shows a great possibility to do similar projects in the future.
