MediaWiki is the free software (GPL) that runs Wikipedia under the auspices of the Wikimedia Foundation.
I'm Greg Rundlett, a free software advocate who lives in Newburyport, MA with my wife and two sons. I'm here to show you a lot of things about the wiki system called MediaWiki and hope that you'll take away a lot from this presentation. The great thing about sharing knowledge; like sharing free software; is that you can take away as much as you possibly can and I may take away an even greater knowledge than I started with just from our sharing. Nobody has less, everybody has more.
Oh, and I do have some tangible free and cool stuff too. Freebies (books, commons)
