[freegeek-startup] startup or intergalactic

[revphil]

I envision that eventually there might be some communication that would
be not about franchising, and yet sensitive so that only
fully-fledged-free-geeks would be privy.

For example, if FG-Intergalactic (or more than just one FG) was to
partner with a recycler we might want to communicate about the contract
privately. no?

best,
