[dorkbotpdx-blabber] Lend a solar panel for a good cause?

[John Labovitz]

My friend Jim works at Inveneo (inveneo.com), a technology nonprofit  
who builds Linux-based hardware & software and works with NGOs to  
install the systems in places in the developing world.  Inveneo's  
coming to OSCON, but as Jim says:

They're looking to borrow a 12V solar panel -- "like a 75-watt unit,  
about one foot by two feet" -- for the three days of OSCON, so they  
can demo their system.

Inveneo's a cool little company; the fact that they're a nonprofit  
tech company is pretty unique.

Anyone on the list interested in helping them out?  Let me know, and  
I'll put you in touch.
