Come one, come all, for our Chromebox Mod Meeting!!
We are very excited to present this meeting to you. In this event we will walk you through the process of converting a Chromebox (desktop form factor Chromebook) from its old Chrome OS to ...anything you want, really! (Although we suggest a server OS to practice stuff on -- like web hosting or firewalls, or maybe even parallel computing!)
On their own, Chromeboxes are fairly underpowered. But they are readily available for good prices in bulk on sites like eBay, and they can absolutely be a force to be reckoned with in a cluster. Think of them like x86-based Raspberry Pis. And with our help, you will walk out with one!
That's right, every attendee to the meeting will receive a Chromebox, fully modded and ready for future use, for free! (while supplies last)
You won't want to miss out on this event! Doors open at 3PM on Friday, Nov. 18th in ENG 104/104A. (Due to the hands-on nature of this event, there will not be an online link or meeting this week.)
*One Chromebox per person, unless attendance throughout the event is substantially low (we're talking below 10-15 people). First-come, first-served.
