</graphvizl> This page helps us determine how much time and money goes into and comes out of each area of Free Geek. On the graphs below, rectangles and house shaped nodes represent end points. The rectangles represent program activities at Free Geek. These activities do not directly collect money. The houses represent income activities that do collect money (and may meet program needs as well). The ovals are processing stops along the way. The main graph shows how gizmos flow from receiving to the various endpoints. By tracking staff and volunteer hours and gizmo sales in relation to these nodes, we can estimate volunteer and staff time, income and expenses associated with each.

There are also administrative activities that do not fit into the gizmo flow way of looking at things, but are nevertheless important. Again, the shapes represent whether or not the activity collects money for Free Geek or not. Rectangles show purely administrative or program activities.

Houses show purely administrative income activities.
