The purpose of Freecycle is to stop stuff going to landfill... not to provide a platform where other groups can promote their own agendas. I would far rather than "The Ubuntu Community" approached "The Global Freecycle Team" and tried to put together a cross-promoted initiative to provide a service where we would put Ubuntu on old PCs and then Freecycle them... - local Ubuntu teams would be encouraged to contribute the installation time - local Freecycle groups would be encouraged to specifically get their members to contribute older PC kit There's a difference between working WITH another group, with their own mission, and trying to "Hijack" their services to promote our own.
