Free Geek Seattle is a growing non-profit organization modeled after the original Free Geek of Portland, Oregon. We are focused on promoting free and open source software advocacy, technology education and sustainable computing. What We Do Refurbish donated computer hardware, and install open source software to distribute back into the community. Provide education about basic PC hardware, the Linux operating system, and any other technologies that we're working on or have expertise in. Recycle anything we can't fix or use an environmentally-responsible manner.
