External Trends
External trends are things that are happening outside of Free Geek that we think are likely to affect us in a significant way. When creating a goal page for Free Geek's Long Term Strategy Process, these will likely show up as opportunities or threats relating to the goal. Ideally items on this list are linked to pages that explain the item a bit more.

- more recycling competition
- continued growth
- flattening growth
- increasing cost of transportation
- more and better FS/OSS
Internal Attributes
Internal attributes are characteristics of Free Geek that we think may be significant when setting goals. When creating a goal page for Free Geek's Long Term Strategy Process, these will likely show up as strengths or weaknesses relating to the goal. Some items on this list may need explanation and if so they should be linked to pages that explain the item a bit more.
- messy (getting better?)
- increasing benefits for staff
