I heard about FreeGeek a while ago through a FreshUbuntu podcast: http://freshubuntu.org/podcast/99/
While it sounds like an interesting project, it's much more hands-on than the general GNHLUG M.O. has been up to this point. I like the idea of repurposing old hardware, but the project has a lot of interesting challenges: local zoning rules regarding hazardous waste storage, a hardware-inventory based accounting system (where ours is primarily fictious dollars) and so forth. I think I have a pretty good idea what we need to do to complete our application, it's just a matter of time and getting some more volunteers involved. I had hoped to have a board meeting next Thursday to discuss it, but so far it looks like Ben and Ted and Shawn. But that's a start.
