The 12 middle school students — six girls and six boys — were not the usual visitors to the Porter Henderson Library, but it was their third Saturday in a row, part of the “sweat equity” they had agreed to to take home one of those computers. They were part of the launch of “TexOS, the Texas Open Source Project,” a two-man nonprofit operation that hopes to provide not only a computer to a needy child but also a whole new mindset.
