History of NGO/NPO TurnovFree.net
Work in progress
As gathering e-mails for past 9 years is going to take some time, this is going to take some time. As well as covering 9 years of constant struggle and unrest.
Target here is to summarize 9 years of TurnovFree.net. Well, actually it is 2-3 years prior official existence of TurnovFree.net and 6 years after.
I'm up for some long run here.
The Beginning
Hmm … the beginning, let me see, let me think a bit.
The roots
TurnovFree.net had its roots in our LAN parties when we were still at Primary school. We've used to spend weekends by endless playing of computer games in my room. My class mates brought computers, we've hooked them up(at the time by magic, what else) and played till exhaustion.
Twice a year, or so, we had a bigger LAN party, not at my parents place though. We've used other place or Boy Scout's clubhouse on the “island”(note: next to power station, Konsky trh 201, Turnov). It was a beautiful place and we were using it for playing computer games. Silly us. Could you believe we've played through the new years eve as well? No? Oh yes, we did.
So many memories. The cold during the winter and myself in sleeping bags nicknamed “rakoncajaky” after Josef Rakoncaj. I had two of them and still they fell short to fend of cold. I remember as well we were there that morning when my mother called me to tell me my grandfather got hit by drunken driver. Well, that's a hard reality for you.
