+:No. Of the eleven interns that have been hired to work at Free Geek, only three were then hired into staff positions. Only two of those three (Steve and Michael) continue to work at Free Geek as staff members. Both of these folks were hired as exploratory interns.

+;What happens to receiving while we sort this out?
-: The Staff Collective formed a Receiving Committee to look at the issue of how to staff receiving shifts following the current internship. The receiving committe forwarded their suggestions to the staff collective and the proposal was sketched out by the staff collective and the HR committee. The proposal ideas were then presented at the council meeting but the actual proposal text was not available, so it is being worked out right now.

-* Coverage of Receiving Area from opening day until the present.
+When Free Geek opened its doors, Receiving was covered by volunteers.
-** How was it done? Who did it?
-* Interns that have worked at Free Geek.
+As we developed the original staff collective shared duties covering receiving along with other duties at Free Geek (recycling, build, etc.) The job of covering these was called "Busy Bee" because it kept you on your toes. This job was shared by most collective members.
