Free Geek Vancouver helps the needy get nerdy

| There are people from conservative groups in Free Geek as well. When you
| want to build community, you can't not have people come from all
| different walks of life. Because then it becomes a clique. It
| becomes elitist, and Linux has to beat that kind of reputation.
| A lot of people on the outside think that you have to be really
| smart to run Linux.

| Free Geek Vancouver now has about 50 people on its mailing list, and a
| core of six or seven dedicated volunteers. About 40% of those involved
| are women -- an unusually high number for a free software community.
