Description
FREE GEEK Chicago is a not-for-profit community organization that recycles used technology to provide computers, education, internet access and job skills training to the underserved communities of Chicago in exchange for community service. FREE GEEK Chicago was founded in August 2005 as a collaboration of NPOTechs and Logan Square CTC to recycle computer technology and provide low and no-cost computing to economically disadvantaged individuals and not-for-profit and social change organizations. FREE GEEK Chicago does most of this work with volunteers. The volunteers disassemble the donated equipment and test the components, which are either recycled as electronic scrap or recycled into refurbished systems. These refurbished computers are then loaded with Open Source Software, such as GNU/Linux, Open Office, and other Free Software. We are proud of being a democratically-run organization, and use consensus in our meetings...
