Current GAP Policy

Hardware

Free Geek can provide GAP computers for public access.

Costs

The site where the GAP computer is deployed takes responsibility for internet connection costs.
Access to the computers should be available to the general public and must be available free of charge.
It is acceptable for the site to collect voluntary donations to support the internet access.

Restrictions to allow access

The site can place reasonable restrictions (such as time limits) on use of the computers so as to allow wide usage.

Support

Free Geek can only provide technical support for the boxes to a limited number of locations. We encourage sites that want GAP systems to find staff or patrons of that site to join the GAP volunteer project. Email gapsters@freegeek.org for further information.

Getting a GAP box at your site

To request a GAP box at your site email gapsters@freegeek.org.
