Whenever I am done working with development hardware I picked up for Bodhi Linux, instead of letting it rot in the corner of my basement I would prefer to give it back to our users. Last year we gave away an ARM powered Samsung Chromebook and this year I find myself with a spare Acer C720 Chromebook after recently upgrading to the i3 based version.

On May 15th 2015 we will be selecting a person who contributed (code, documentation, support, donation) the Bodhi Project in 2015. The selected person will be sent a gently used Acer C720 Chromebook powered by Bodhi Linux.

If you have already donated or contributed to the Bodhi project in 2015 no extra effort is needed on your part. If you have been thinking about getting involved or sending a donation our way now is a fantastic time to do as you might end up getting something back! On our donation page where you can donate via paypal as well as find a mailing address if you prefer a non-digital option.

We will send the Chromebook anywhere in the world, but we do request that if the shipping costs to your location exceed 50 USD you cover any additional costs.

You can read more about the Acer C720 in a review I wrote here. The model I have to give away has 4GB of RAM and has an upgraded 32GB hard drive. It will be configured with a fresh copy of Bodhi 3.0.0 by default.

Finally, if you can help us spread the word about our Give Away on whatever social media pages you use we would appreciate it! User donations are what keeps Bodhi running – without our generous user base we would not still exist today.

Thank You!
