This is a fantastic project and I wish you the best of luck with it and hope you have lots of attendees.
I do think there is a business opportunity (or perhaps a charitable one) of refurbishing/reselling older machines by doing just what your seminars are doing, but installing Linux and then selling the machine. Many people could use a machine that costs less than say, $200, but is still very functional for everyday usage.

They have been active in upcycling hardware with Linux for some time now.
