It’s been a very busy couple of weeks for us, and especially for QuinnCo. We’ve doubled the number of computers donated, started planning a marketing campaign for Qimo, and of course we’ve been preparing for our trip to SCALE 7x.
First off, let me introduce Qimo. No, not the software, Qimo the Eskimo, our new Mascot! Qimo is just the tip of the iceberg, thanks to the very generous Brian Hall for donating his time and talents we are getting all new artwork for Qimo.
Even though we haven’t release a final version of Qimo, we haven’t let keep us from getting computers out the door. In fact, we’ve given away more computers in the past week than we have all of last year! If you know of any kids who could benefit from one of our computers, please let us know, and as always if you have any computers, parts of computers, or even computer accessories, please consider donating to our cause. We would especially like to start getting printers that we can donate to households that don’t already have a computer.
As if all of that wasn’t enough to keep us busy, we’ve also been planning our trip to L.A. for the Southern California Linux Expo. Thanks again to Brian, we’re going to be showing off in style. We will have commercially printed Qimo CDs to give away along with lots of other marketing material, all with much better artwork that we could have made ourselves. We’ve also enrolled to host a “Birds of a Feather” discussion about how Linux and Open Source can help charitable organizations save money without sacrificing capabilities.
