I'm a Free Software advocate, and so it is important in my life to not only adopt Free Software in my own consumption of technology, but also to help others do the same.  This website helps me to not only record (and remember) the things that I learn, but also helps me to share that information with everybody else.  ''You'' can join me, since editing is open to all.

On a local level, I hope that this website serves as a focal point for the vibrant and expert pool of resources in the areaIf successful, this would provide greater visibility to both the people who work with free technology, and the businesses, schools, groups and other organizations that need help from those people.

Who am I?[edit | edit source]

I'm Greg Rundlett. freephile is a moniker I chose a long time ago from the combination of "freedom" and the Greek "philos" to represent my affection for libre software. I don't use it as much any more since the meaning of "free software", like the GPL has largely become irrelevant.

Why this website?[edit | edit source]

Wiki technology is almost as old as the web itself [1]. It's incredibly powerful. Wikipedia is a relevant example. This site serves as a showcase for some of the features and capabilities of the MediaWiki platform that powers Wikipedia.

What do I do with my time?[edit | edit source]

Interests describes some of the technology, hardware and/or software-related things that occupy my time. When not at work, I take to the beaches, woods, trails, and mountains of New England to enjoy swimming, hiking, disc golf and scenic motorcycle rides. I also enjoy organic gardening and photography.

Local[edit | edit source]

As a board member of the Coastal Trails Coalition I work to expand the accessible multi-use trail network. I live in Salisbury, MA
