Free Geek Slogans

Slogans

The following unofficial slogan is not our Mission Statement, but rather was coined by the media (and adapted slightly by Free Geek people):

Helping the needy get nerdy since the beginning of the third millennium.

Another slogan was crafted by the PR committee in 2008 and has been used extensively since then:

Connecting our community one computer at a time.

This page references a policy without explaining how it was adopted. Please see the Policy Development page for details on how to create a link to relevant minutes.

On June 20, 2009, the PR committee officially "Old Yellered" this slogan based on the results of a staff survey that revealed deep displeasure with it. The plan is to stop using it on future materials, and slowly unpublish it from current usage.

The "needy" slogan will remain in (subdued) use until a super-bang up replacement presents itself. The other part of this plan is to hold a "Geek Slogan-Off" to solicit suggestions for a new slogan at some point in the future, and develop some sort of process for selecting an official slogan that "gets" FG.

Another slogan adorns the side of our truck (along with a graphic that appears on the truck and nowhere else):

Computer Reuse, Education & Recycling

And another slogan appears on our official letterhead:

Computers Internet Education thru [sic] Recycling
