Our new space is bigger, warmer, and located 3 blocks NE of Commercial and Hastings, at 1820 Pandora.
Official moving day is Thurs. Dec. 27, and we are busy packing from now to Dec 22. Yes, we can use your help during this time! If you're not crazy about lifting stuff, you might help directing folks, sorting stuff, sweeping, doing errands etc. We have a 5-ton truck already, but an extra vehicle or so would be nice for moving people.
If you'd like to help over the next week, give us a call during operating hours or email ifny [at] freegeekvancouver [d0t] org. Please let us know when you're available to help and how to contact you. We'll be open again on Jan. 3, and could use extra hands getting everything sorted away in the new place too.
We look forward to seeing everyone in our new diggs in the New Year!

Free Geek offers workshops to folks wanting to learn more about computers and software. All skill levels are welcome, including absolute beginners! We strive to provide a supportive, empowering learning environment...ultimately, we're trying to 'geekify' the masses, one Wednesday at a time!
This month's topic: Open (General Clinic): Join us for a night of skill-sharing, problem-solving and education.
All are welcome! Beginners ok & skilled volunteers welcome! Free or by donation. We address free & open source software/hardware issues only.
Please note: Entry via back door. Indoor bike parking. Unfortunately our new location is not wheelchair accessible yet. We apologise for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience while we work to change this.
Want to try free & open source software? Find out how to install Linux on your computer? Or have a more complex question...? These evenings are first come, first serve. Drop in & write your name/question on the whiteboard; someone will come find you and lend a hand.
Linux Clinics are where we assist folks who have Linux issues, hardware problems, or who are just plain curious. If you want to see what Linux is all about, or try the Ubuntu operating system, you're welcome to drop by!
If you are already running a distribution of Linux, you might consider bringing your box down, so we can work together to solve your difficulties.
**CAN YOU HELP? We're always in need of extra helpers with skills and patience! Particular areas in demand: Linux & wireless, Ubuntu installs, hardware issues. Feel free to drop by and let us know you're here to help.
Free and open source software offers community-oriented, nutritious and delicious alternatives. Join us for Windowsless Wednesdays & learn how to set your computer free!
