In a scenario that may possibly bridge the gap between Crisis Driven Free Geek and Maximum Free Geek, we have been approached by Providence NW to take care of their constant stream of cast-off computers. This would be a huge increase in the amount of material coming in, and would require some changes of us.
This has been discussed a little bit in the Council; the various Staff Standing Committees, especially Reuse, have been discussing the potential impact of such a commitment; and a group of people met up recently to talk about the potential of the project and whether we'd want to move forward on such a commitment. The minutes from that meeting are a good starting point for understanding hopes and concerns about this development.
Here are some ideas of how existing space could be used to minimize the impact of
Providence:
