Thanks to a generous donation from the folks at Massive Events, Free Geek was able to have a booth at this year's Massive Technology Show.

We spent the day talking to people about Free Geek's aims, programs and ethical approach to computer recycling. We displayed a volunteer-built "GEEK BOX" demo computer running Ubuntu. Visitors were welcome to try it, and experience a typical example of a computer available for adoption by volunteers. Much of the imagery at our booth related to computer dumping sites in China and Nigeria. Many people were surprised to learn what happens to computer waste, and interested in getting involved with our organisation or donating hardware.

We were given six days to make a professional looking booth. It took no time for everyone to pull together and make it happen. Big thanks go to: Sarah S. for crafting our dramatic Free Geek banner; B.A.N. for permission to use their striking photos of overseas e-waste processing; Greenscape Silk Design for providing the apple blossom trees and greenery; Ian & DomBlue for assisting with printing; NAPA Auto Parts for donating our display board.

Free Geekers Joe, Gerald, Simeon, Ifny and David took care of the booth, and Rusty helped encourage people to visit us. It was truly a community effort!
