The Charleston Collaborative Computer Club (Fourcs, pronounced Forks) is an informal group of people in Charleston who are interested in the various forms of technology. Anyone can join; there's no prerequisite knowledge required, just a desire to learn. The group is centered around principles of collaboration, community involvement, and individual learning. See About for more information.

What Does Fourcs Do?

Quite simply, Fourcs exists to provide a commons where people from different backgrounds can come together, discuss what they are learning about technology, and then act on that knowledge. Show and tell is an intregal part and the primary purpose for meetings. It's only half of what we do, though. Putting the knowledge to actual use is the second half. The goal is to become involved with local non-profits and help in any way we can. This provides members with an environment in which they can put newfound skills to good use. For more information, see http://nonprofit.fourcs.org.

Who Should Join?

Anyone genuinely interested in technology, from technology professionals to hardware hackers to people who just bought their first computer. Note that this does not require any knowledge whatsoever. Even those just starting to use computers should feel free to join. This is not to leave the ubergeeks out; the idea is that smaller groups will form with homogeneous skillsets. Everyone can join in on general interest topics, and then go to a smaller group when introduction/expert topics are discussed. The single requirement to join, however, is you must be willing to contribute back to the group (this could take many forms - see the Dues section of About).
