How big should Free Geek get?
Over the years, we've mostly done stuff because we had to, reacting to emergency situations as they came up and forming our policy out of necessity. We think it's time to think ahead and starting deciding where we want to go.
Free Geek has evolved through several stages. From a staff perspective, they are:
- One staff person
- We didn't know if we were a viable organization and were trying to see if we could could become somewhat viable before our seed money ran out.
- An informal three person collective
- didn't have any staff meetings and decided things by word of mouth
- A collective of five to ten people
- Staff met on a weekly basis
- A collective that had a dozen or more people that needed to have lots of ad hoc committees to get anything done.
- A larger, more decentralized collective
- We still meet regularly as a whole staff, but also has several standing committees.
