Twin Cities Open Circuit on closing the technology gap

Amanda Luker - Twin Cities Open Circuit

Twin Cities Open Circuit is a technology skill-sharing organization founded in 2007 with the mission of spreading the free and open source software movement. Free Geek is their newest program designed to help close the technology gap in the Twin Cities. Currently in the works, it will offer computers, education, internet access and job skills training to those in need in exchange for community service. Participants will help recycle and refurbish used technology, learning valuable skills along the way. The program is following in the successful footsteps of Free Geek chapters in Portland, Chicago, Vancouver and other cities across the nation.

Recorded on August 30th, 2008 at Solutions Volume 3 in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
