We need to gather the results from the survey we send out and put them here.
Your name:
(not tabulated)
Today's Date:
(not tabulated)
Is there anything reasonable that Free Geek could be doing that it's not that would raise more money? What?
- Dave
- Geiner
- Jhasen
- Wish list web form on freegeek.org for folks to submit types and quantity of hardware they are looking to buy. This would guarantee sales and provide us with data that would be useful to the store.
- Jon
- Produce higher end systems to sell in the store.
- Kathie
-
- Open Saturday on holidays -- rotate staff.
- Open a 6th day, Sunday, once for a trial run. Evaluate. Ask for staff Val.
- Laurel
- Um, that membership program that we started might be helpful. Selling laptops -- they are n high demand. Pursue the tech support ticket idea. Charge admission to the video game museum.
- Liane
- Marlin
- Martin
- Selling more junk, on ebay if necessary.
- Matthew
- Yes, Free Geek could encourage the many organizations and people that we somehow support to contribute a little bit towards us.
- Michael
- Nathan
- Oso
- Richard
- Catch more sellable stuff in receiving, test and sell it in sotre on ebay.
- Rick
- Possibly more advertising and various forms of outreach. Corporate donation of monies/product without strings. (For example -- Intel used to give STRUT processors.)
- Shawn
- n/a
What areas of Free Geek are not needed to operate without losing money? How so?
- Dave
- Geiner
- Jhasen
- C4K volunteer program coordination. These programs generate $0 and the brains and skills of their coordinators could be better used elsewhere in the organization.
- Jon
- n/a
- Kathie
- CforK, NAP (old Collab)
- Laurel
- The staff bathrooms+lounge, the stage, the museum.
- I have nothing new to add here.
- Liane
- Marlin
- Martin
- Grants -- no income stream here at all. If we just started selling them :-(. Hot water we could make do without :-) Turn printers into all smashtacular!
- Matthew
- In the short term, grants, education, CforK, and tech support could all be cut. I think these areas are all important, but they are not needed for short term functioning.
- Michael
- Nathan
- Oso
- Richard
- Grants, CforK (currently), NAP/Collab. All help the mission which indirectly brings in money, but not directly.
- Rick
- CforK. Interns could be replaced by volunteers and staff. Receiving could be run by core volunteers and other staff. Volunteer coordinator postion could be absorbed back into staff.
- Shawn
- n/a
