Could this be cool

[KC Hundere]

I'd love to be part of this.  I have 6 different pi screens around the
house already. 3 on old monitors and are just informational displays, 2
touchscreens and an original pi decked out with a LED hat that scrolls temp
and status information.

I have the hardware here waiting to go, let me know.
