Free Geek Seattle is a growing non-profit organization modeled after the original Free Geek of Portland, Oregon. Our focus is free and open source software advocacy, technology education and sustainable computing.


What We Do

  • Refurbish donated computer hardware, and install free open source software for distribution to 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.

Donations

  • We are currently accepting donations via the Filipino Community Center of Seattle.
  • We are always looking for more sources of donations and have a lot of ideas kicking around on that front. Elcaset is in charge of donations.
  • WISHLIST! Particular things we really need, list it on the front page here:
  • Server rack and mounting hardware for our servers.
  • Workbenches with overhead shelves
