-At Free Geek our primary focus is to combat two problems facing our society today: growing levels of e-waste and the growing "digital divide". We turn these problems toward each other, taking unwanted computers, installing free software, and giving them to people who otherwise have little or no access to computers. Ubuntu is a very powerful tool in our implementation of this.

 ==Why are We Talking to You==
 This talk will give an overview of what we do and who it affects with a focus on spreading knowledge of Free Geek and it's mission, and encouraging others to take up the cause of e-waste reuse while encouraging Ubuntu developers to accomodate lower end systems to enable Ubuntu to be used by all.

-As we use donated hardware to accomplish our goals, support for a wide variety of older hardware is key. Ubuntu has helped in these areas. (except getting rid of alsaconf, not cool) Having a free OS that will run on machines such as a PIII 500mhz all the way up to the newest, fastest hardware (with alternatives for slower/older machines) gives us the modularity needed to accomodate all donated machines.
