Pqluglist- Free Geek PQ

[Parksville-Qualicum Linux Users group mail list]

I dunno... buy-and-sell classified web 2.0 of extraneous hardware doesn't really mesh with putting usable computers in the hands of "have-nots." 

How would they find product if they have no PC?

If we Free Geek we Free Geek full on. 

I've got some storage/dev space but can't run a retail shop out of my home. Anyone have any churches with a basement thrift shop we could front out of?

Here are the Free Geek rules/manifesto: http://wiki.freegeek.org/index.php/Free_Geek_Startups

> Neat idea, but ya, the space will be an issue. Why don't we start with a free buy & sell (give & take?) web site? Should be pretty easy to set up.
