     The Three Jewels Buddhist Refuge and Free Internet Cafe

 The Three Jewels Buddhist Refuge runs a broad Free Software and Free
 Computer Outreach. Here are some parts of the Outreach:

 1. New York City's only Free Internet Cafe based on Free Software.

 2. The Free Software Workshops, most of which are held Sundays inside the
 Three Jewels. The workshops often combine elements of Install Fests and of
 Classes in Free Software.

 3. The Computer Donation Program, which accepts gifts of computers, and if
 necessary, rehabilitates them, by both hardware repair and operating system
 upgrades to free OSes, and gives the improved machines to folk who can make
 use of them. Volunteers teach and learn both hardware repair and assembly,
 and also the basics of free software. In some special cases volunteers
 undertake long term maintenance of donated systems.

 4. A growing library of books on computers and programming with free software.

 All workshops are free and open to the public. Every member of every free
 software org, tribe, drinking club, and family, is invited, without
 prejudice, without fear, and without favor. Newcomers are particularly
 invited. Come down and join us, even if you are just starting to learn
 about free software.

 The Three Jewels is a charitable organization and is recognized as such by
 the Internal Revenue Service of the United States of America. Thus
 donations are tax deductible.

 The Three Jewels works with several local free software organizations,
 including, but not limited to, LXNY, GNUbies, CFSG, and the VBB^WTINVBB.
 Individual volunteers are always needed, of all degrees, and for some
 projects certain alliances of organizations are of use. Do not be afraid
 to visit the Free Internet Cafe, or come to a workshop, to discuss
 possibilities.

 To receive notifications of Three Jewels Free Software and Free Computer
 Outreach events and programs, send an email to secretary@lxny.org, with
 "Three Jewels" in the subject line, and a request for information in the
 body.
