in 2007, Robert acquired 18 donated computers. But these computers were less help than he’d anticipated. The operating systems were slow. Some computers had viruses or malware. Students became frustrated.

Proposal from first Drupal Governance Sprint | Dries Buytaert

Here are the proposals we came up with, and we are actively seeking community feedback on the ideas within.
