-May I ask you to think about what the public finds as the primary benefit of FreeGeek? I would guess it is, in this order:
-) Recycling to keep toxics out of the waste stream
-) Educational - teaching skills to those who don't have
-) Repurposing machines
-So, maybe we could present
-) how many tons of mercury, lead, cadmium, nickel and other badstuff we've sequestered through *careful* recycling, and
-) how many people have learned computer skills, before
-) we roll on to how many boxen have good homes now.
-I'd be happy to run, and design if you also need, a (short) telephone survey between now and 16 April to see what the people really think.
-Polling is something politicos understand. With a well-designed poll, raw data (a log of each interview) and the inevitable executive summary of results to demonstrate that Portlanders like us, we might get more R E S P E C T from City Hall than we do at present.
-Or, so my BS in Journalism, and subsequent PR experience would lead me to believe, anyway.
