Do you have what it takes to join the bold ranks of Freeside?

How do I join Freeside?

So you want to be a member of Freeside Atlanta, eh? Awesome!

Feel free to drop in to our weekly meetings on Tuesdays at 7:30p to meet some folks and see what we've got going on. If you like what you see, and there's a project or class you're interested in, then start showing up to the project meetings or register for classes.

We are a friendly group and welcome newcomers. However, we do want to get to know you first. Here is the process for becoming a new member.

  • Find two sponsors. In other words, come to some events and meet some folks.
  • Send your bio and responses to some of the questions below to your sponsors.
  • After a little while, if nobody has an objection, then you're in! Welcome to the party!
  • You will get all of the cool stuff that comes with being a member - check out the Benefits!

Quick re-cap: get two sponsors, participate in regular open events, be positive and awesome at all times, and then you'll get to be a member.
