@deobald @sri @Endof10 I've signed up for our local repair cafe (didn't know that we had one) in Charlottesville, VA, US (https://cvilletimebank.com/repair-cafe/).

@dperson @sri @Endof10 extremely cool! the entire goal of end of 10 is to run repair cafes, so they are looking at the right project, for sure!

if you (or they) want to get involved, the website is here: https://endof10.org/contribute/

you can just add your repair cafe to the list, join the matrix channel, or fully ask to get involved in the campaign! your level of involvement is up to you. :)

@deobald @sri @Endof10 As soon as I'm officially a member (this weekend) I'll check with them about getting the repair cafe added to the endof10.org website listing.

I joined the main matrix chat as well. Thanks for the pointers and helping raise awareness!

@domojestic @sri @Endof10 as i understand it, the delivery on the ground is up to the people doing the volunteering -- as long as you bring an old laptop back to life, i don't think it matters too much how. :)

but please do confirm with the endof10.org folks!
