OUT OF DATE: Please do not try to put all policies here. See Policy Development

This page is no longer needed. Instead make sure you categorize all policy pages properly. You may see a list of all policies by looking at the category page.

This is Free Geeks policy repository. Ideally when a proposal is made, a policy agreed upon, or an old policy unearthed, it should go here. Several Free Geek policies are currently buried in old meeting minutes, or completely unrecorded. Feel free to scour old minutes by browsing the archives of the various email lists at http://lists.freegeek.org/listinfo/ and posting newly discovered policies below.

Please find an appropriate section below and post agreed upon policies here along with an indication of when they went into effect and a link to the minutes or email containing the final wording of the policy. Please see Policy Development for pointers on how to do this.

-* Grants are for nonprofit organization, loosely defined. A nonprofit organization does not need to be a 501(c)(3), nor even incorporated. We cannot, however, grant to organizations that we are prohibited from since we are a 501(c)(3). This applies to partisan political organizations and some other types of groups.
-* Individuals may not ask for grants, though a nonprofit can ask for a grant and pass it through to an individual. The council has directed the grants group to deprioritize pass-through grants and encourage potential recipients to investigate the adoption program.
-* Local requests take priority over distant ones.
-* Distant requests need to explain their disposal plan for the day that the granted equipment finally becomes unusable.

-* Volunteers get a 50% discount in the store if they've worked at least 4 hours in the last 90 days. This applies to donated gizmos only. Other items, such as t-shirts and bumper stickers, have a 10% discount for volunteers.
-* People who buy a yearly membership to Free Geek get half of a volunteer discount (25% and 5%).
-* Even if a volunteer normally would receive a discount in the store they are not allowed to take it on items that they intend to resell.
-*If a customer wants to buy something that is not in the store, the store may issue them a 'hall pass' that details where they can go to look for it and what they are looking for.

-* Volunteers in the adoption program can earn a free computer in exchange for 24 hours of work.
-* Volunteers in the build program can earn a free computer in exchange for building six computers. The sixth computer is the one they keep, and they can build it themselves.
-* Volunteers can only earn one computer per year.
-* Volunteers who cannot understand English are welcome to participate in our programs, but they must provide a translator to help them learn the job and otherwise communicate. In http://lists.freegeek.org/pipermail/core/2004-May/001855.html Laurel says:
- As we would have done in the past - require them to provide a translator. They're
- supposed to bring a translator while they work and when they come on the tour. No
- need to panic. We have just the same situation as before, no problems have been
- added (unless, of course, someone implies during the class that we would offer
- spanish-language support).
-==Proposals==
-Proposals (final wording not yet agreed upon) go here, along with a brief description. If consensus is reached move them up to the policy section. (These probably need to be checked to see if they're still proposals! --[[User:Ideath|Ideath]])
-* [[Wifi Use Statement]]  -- A policy statement in development: explaining our decision process about using wifi at Free Geek. There seems to be substantial consensus about the wording, but feelings that it needs to be shorter.

-* [[Volunteer Intern Process]] -- February, 2004
-* [[Nonprofit Assistance Program]]
-* [[Contractor List]]
-[[Category: Policy]]
