[freegeek-startup] a tale of two cities

[ifny]

yeah, i'd second that. Vancity provides a lot of grants to
nonprofits/community initiatives, so people running across that
nickname may assume that we are one of their projects.

unfortunately our airport code (YVR) doesn't roll off the tongue like PDX...

i've been using FG-V for written. for a nickname, "free geek vee"
could be fun, & its pronunciation would probably naturally become
"freegeevee" aka "freaky vee." neat.
