Gastown Tech Businesses Team Up for Free Geek Hardware Drive

The heroic Jordan writes:

"The Gastown tech community is organizing a 'Free Geek' Hardware Drive. On Friday, Dec 7th, participating Gastown tech business will donate their old, unneeded hardware to Free Geek, a non-profit that 'helps the needy get nerdy.'

"There's still time to be added to the list of participating businesses, and have your donations picked up next Friday. To participate, send an email to: Jordan[at]strutta.com and you will be added to the pick-up route. Then just bring your hardware for donation on Friday the 7th, and the truck will make its rounds, stopping eventually at Vancouver’s Free Geek headquarters at 117 E. 2nd Ave.

"Clear your life of your unused hardware, and help a very worthy non-profit in the process! All donated items are sorted for usefulness and if necessary, either refurbished or recycled in their volunteer program. Useful refurbished items are donated to deserving volunteers and non-profit organizations."

Free Geek offers workshops to folks wanting to learn more about computers and software. All skill levels are welcome, including absolute beginners! We strive to provide a supportive, empowering learning environment...ultimately, we're trying to 'geekify' the masses, one Wednesday at a time!

 

This month's topic: Open (General Clinic): Join us for a night of skill-sharing, problem-solving and education.

All are welcome! Beginners ok! Fully accessible. Skilled volunteers welcome! Free or by donation.

Please note: we address free & open source software/hardware issues only.

 

Want to try free & open source software? Find out how to install Linux on your computer? Or have a more complex question...?

Linux Clinics are where we assist folks who have Linux issues, or who are just plain curious. If you want to see what Linux is all about, or try the Ubuntu operating system, you're welcome to drop by!

If you are already running a distribution of Linux, you might consider bringing your box down, so we can work together to solve your difficulties. Please drop us a line if you can, outlining your issues. info [at] freegeekvancouver.org


Free and open source software offers community-oriented, nutritious and delicious alternatives. Join us for Windowsless Wednesdays & learn how to set your computer free!

Check back here for updates, or join our announcement mailing list to stay posted about upcoming events!

Our new space is bigger, warmer, and located 3 blocks NE of Commercial and Hastings, at 1820 Pandora.

Official moving day is Thurs. Dec. 27, and we are busy packing from now to Dec 22. Yes, we can use your help during this time! If you're not crazy about lifting stuff, you might help directing folks, sorting stuff, sweeping, doing errands etc. We have a 5-ton truck already, but an extra vehicle or so would be nice for moving people.

If you'd like to help over the next week, give us a call during operating hours or email ifny [at] freegeekvancouver [d0t] org. Please let us know when you're available to help and how to contact you. We'll be open again on Jan. 3, and could use extra hands getting everything sorted away in the new place too.

We look forward to seeing everyone in our new diggs in the New Year!
