== Intro ==
Cue POTY slideshow and play in loop 30 minutes prior to presentationCue mediawiki slideshow 5 minutes prior to presentation MediaWiki is the free software (GPL) that runs Wikipedia under the auspices of the [http://www.wikimedia.org/ Wikimedia Foundation]. @TODO insert images
I'm Greg Rundlett [http://iic.harvard.edu/people] [http://freephile.com] [http://rundlett.com], 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.
== Using it ==
