== What‽ == Yes. We are giving away a HP Mini 2102 laptop. Why? HP gave it to DebConf during DebConf10, and it spent several months in the previous year's organizer's hands. They brought it to Banja Luka, and don't want to take it back. Keeping a netbook as property of DebConf does not seem very useful, as the computer is underpowered for many of the tasks we usually need (i.e. video work). And even if it were a good frontdesk machine, it would mean 11.5 months a year gathering dust — Not an exciting prospect for it! === Specs === The computer is currently in the possession of Luca Capello (Gismo) and will be used at frontdesk during DebConf11, in case you want to look at it. The basic characteristics are: * 2GB RAM * N450 Atom CPU * 1.66GHz * I _think_ it has an extended (6-cell) battery As the machine currently still boots with Windows 7, I was not brave enough to gather further information. Please fill it in here if you get it. == Mechanics == Giving away a laptop just as a raffle is not particularly a good idea, as probably it would end up with somebody not really ''needing'' (or even wanting) it. So, we decided to make a list of people interested in receiving it, along with a short reason on why they need it. Please go to http://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf11/HPLaptopGiveaway to sign up.
