This idea was very successful and since a couple of years have passed we are going to give away some more Bodhi powered hardware to a random donor. I'm quite fond of my Samsung Chromebook and I recently announced how well our Debian based operating system runs on this device today.
We are going to give away at least one of these little guys to someone who donates to the Bodhi project during the first quarter of 2014:
To have a chance to win one of these wonderful netbooks simply head over Bodhi's donation page and donate at least 5 USD. For every 5 USD you donate your name will be entered once into the raffle at the end of March.
I would just like to say thank you to the open source community. Your continued support has allowed us to become one of the longest lived Linux distributions that features the beautiful Enlightenment desktop by default.
If you could please share this post on your various social networks so our giveaway gets more exposure we would be very grateful!

good deal ........... I was planning on doing it anyway now I can win something :).
ReplyDeleteIs it possible to get the Chromebook for non US donators?
ReplyDeleteOn the billing information page I can't set my state (I supposer there's only US state)
We will contact whoever will be getting the unit before we ship anything for the latest mailing address.
DeleteJeff, my credit card was just billed for my annual Bodhi membership donation. Am I automatically entered in the raffle?
ReplyDeleteYep. Memberships count as donations :)
DeleteWhen the result of the raffle will be public?
ReplyDeleteWe should have a winner notified by this weekend. If they are OK with us sharing their name publicly we will.
