CLUE, collectively as an organization? Doesn't fit. Also not what's
happening, AFAICT.

I suspect Charlie would be amenable to that, but I can't really speak to
that issue.

Allow me to re-post Charlie's alternate language -- note that he included
his Sierra Club e-mail address as a contact point.

Some CLUE members working with the Sierra Club Foundation
are accepting donations of used computers, installing linux
on them, and donating them to Denver area schools. This new
program will be modeled after the StRUT program
<http://strut.org> that has put 22,000 donated computers into
Oregon schools and kept 1400 tons of hardware out of landfills.
To volunteer for the program or donate large quantities of
computers, contact charlie.oriez at rmc.sierraclub.org.
