Join us this weekend as we bring the DIY movement back. Not only is it a chance to start working on those ideas you've been putting off for months, but it's also a great way to learn while playing.
Why You Should Do It Yourself

Bring back the DIY movement and start with your own Linux servers.
It wasn't very long ago that we lived in a society where it was a given that average people would do things themselves.
