I'm not sure how much FreeGeek does specifically with these types of 
organizations. I found an organization on the internet called TechSoup / 
ComputerMentor that does do this type of work extensively but they're 
out of San Francisco.

One of the reasons Debian is my favorite distro is that there are groups 
of people who have spun-off Debian specific distros for educational, 
medical, and non-profit to name a few. They're all in various states of 
production readiness. I setup a computer lab for a small tech college 
with DebianEdu (Skolelinux). I was very impressed with it and I would 
like to do more of this type of work.

Is there any interest in founding this type of organization in Portland 
if one does not exist already?
