Calling all tech savvy Volunteers: US Prig is currently looking for people familiar with downloading software such as Ubuntu and Linux, as well as other volunteers to help with the event. It would be great to get high school volunteers or anybody else that visits Fabville in on this event! We are aiming to rally our volunteers to the Foundry on the 18th, but encourage folks to go to the closest event they can.
