- Log hours and please call if you can't make it. If you're ready to test out, ask an instructor. - Note on Free Geek's culture. It can seem confusing here sometimes. We'll teach you what you need to know, but in a different style than you may be used to: we work in more of a workshop style. So, when you have a question, the best thing to do is to go up to someone who seems to know and ask it of them. please, _don't be afraid to ask questions!_ It's an integral part of the build process. - Google - Email and mailing list - Define the different types of boxes. - Shifts - card and mobo and eval - Command line - Build Workshops (sometimes booked weeks in advance. sign up for only 2 in advance, and call if you can't make it so that others may take your spot) - Documentation - Card and mobo sorting - eval I and II (wiki) - command line (wiki) - build and build sheet?(wiki) Stuff to always keep in mind: - be safe - be nice - have fun
