- Name of project
- Location
- Intention
- Contact
Just copy and paste and fill in this empty table:

Active Projects
Free Space Manchester
| Location | Zion Arts Centre, Hulme |
|---|---|
| Intention | The project exists to provide access to and information about free sofware to young people in Hulme. |
| Method | We have reused the hardware from the #Basement Social Centre along with some hardware from Zion. We currently have an LTSP cluster with 4 desktops. |
| Issues | We are having trouble getting reliable Internet connectivity at Zion, which is hampering development efforts, usage of the suite, and remote administration. |
