As the "door prize getter" or "Swag Man" for PLUG I can step up and say
that I'll take whatever is not taken at the InstallFest. We like to give
away stuff at the meetings as door prizes for those attending. A lot of
these items could last for months of meetings.
This stuff could even be great prizes for during the InstallFest.
OTOH, AZOTO (AriZona Open Technology Organization) could use such
equipment in their efforts to spread open technology to non-profits and
other people in need. We could pick it up for that.
In any case, if you have the need to get rid of stuff, I am willing to put
it in my truck and store it untill we find the right people to give it to,
which is NOT hard.
