There is a group now forming that has a long-term goal of opening
something like Free Geek. It's called "Open Circuit," you can check out
the wiki right here: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://riselikelions.org/techwiki">http://riselikelions.org/techwiki</a><br>
<br>
Unlike Free Geek, we are probably going to be membership-based, and
will also focus on sharing skills between members.<br>
<br>
If you're interested, let me know and I will add you to the email list!<br>

FYI, there is a community technology center of sorts in downtown
Minneapolis. I've never been in it, and not sure what exactly they
cover, but it might be a very good spot to go to begin a conversation
about beefing up current organizations instead of starting a new one
in parallel. I believe it's on Chicago near HCMC, not sure of the
name.

John-
Thanks for the tip -- don't want to unnecessarily duplicate too much
effort! I checked on a list of local CTCs (
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.c-can.org/centers.html">http://www.c-can.org/centers.html</a>), but didn't see anything near HCMC --
anyone know of any more specifics (contact info?) on this organization?
Thanks,
Brian D.
