    My friend has a spare Talos II motherboard that is currently sitting in his house
    in Indiana USA collecting dust.

    I have convinced him to donate/sell it to an open source project or developer.

    I reached out to Richard Stallman, and he agreed to take the board. I am certain that the
    FSF would put it to good use. My friend and I have not yet decided, to whom we will give
    the motherboard. Is it possible that I could give it to someone or project, such that all
    parties here would benefit?

    Is there any project or developer here that would be willing to take this motherboard and create
    virtual machines that other projects could have access to?

    Thoughts?

    I trimmed some of the non-relevant lists.

    The Talos workstations are PowerPC based. There are users on
    debian-powerpc who would put it to good use. https://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc/ .

    And I am envious of your friend. I've got a Talos on my wishlist for a
    daily driver.
