Ka Joog is a local Somali organization in our neighborhood. The non-profit "exists for the sole purpose of our youth. We are committed to motivate our youth to attain a higher education, to realize their potential and to achieve their dreams." This week we donated five computers and a network switch through our Grant Program to Ka Joog to help them in their efforts.

Now that we have a space of our own, we have expanded our hours:

• Wednesday, Noon - 5pm
• Saturday, Noon - 5pm
• Sunday, 2pm - 7pm

We're still unpacking a bit and deciding where things should go. But our teardown and recyling have resumed, and we'll soon be ready to start up our build program again. So, if Saturdays haven't worked for you in the past, you can now come join us on a couple of other days, and help the needy get nerdy. See you there.

A couple months ago, we concluded that we were outgrowing our space at PPNA and that we would have to move. Then, PPNA told us they were selling the building and that we had to be out in three weeks. With help from Seward Redesign we found a new space at 2310 Snelling Ave. South in Minneapolis, sometimes known as Seward Commons. May 14 was our moving day.

We had a table again this year in Powderhorn Park where the May Day Parade reaches its climax. Various staff members took turns manning the table, telling passers-by about what we do at Free Geek. The weather was a bit brisk, but so was the interest in Free Geek. We gave out all the flyers we had printed.
