Keep Free FreeEMS Hardware In Circulation
Posted: Tue Sep 04, 2012 3:29 pm
Whether it be tools or actual FreeEMS hardware or related stuff like widebands etc, if you're given it, and at some point later, aren't going to make use of it, please pass it on. This includes me too, obviously, though I won't be returning anything to the pool any time soon. Clearly this is voluntary because it's after the fact and no deals were cut before sending stuff out, however I'd like to see people respecting this principal all the same.
People who have free stuff now
If you've got FreeEMS hardware or test gear sitting around collecting dust because you've lost interest or sold your car or got married or whatever, why not donate it or even just lend it to someone that will put it to good use? It would be a valiant gesture for sure! I can only think of a couple of guys that have gear they're not using right now, but I know there are something like 30 TA cards out there, plus the jags and pumas, so there's far more than this sitting dusty and unused.
Bought Gear Being Actively Used
Gear people have bought that is getting good use on their desks and/or cars!
In future I'll try to make sure that people who get free stuff agree to this in advance such that gear isn't wasted.
If I've forgotten someone with something, let me know so I can add them to the list.
Fred.
