With each box we give to volunteer, they need to get instruction on how to use it. We offer hands-on training with hardware, but they need to have some idea how to use the software on the computer.
It is important to test parts up front, otherwise we will waste a lot of time in the building process. There is a fair amount of Testing documentation on the Free Geek site. There is not much need to duplicate the information, but to make it specific to Twin Cities Free Geek (TCFG).
People are concerned with how hard drives are handled because they contain data. dban wipes drives securely. We need to have physical documentation of what it does because people will ask.

This section is dedicated to how this website is setup and used.
This website is built with Drupal. The main reasoning for this decision was that most of the founding members of FGTC are involved in working with and developing Drupal. It is also a fleixble, open-source content management system that fits the needs of this website.
At the moment, there is no custom code used on this site. If a custom theme is added or custom modules written, please describe them here so that future maintainers of this site will have knowledge upfront about customizations.
