Freephile
Why am I building this website?
I'm motivated primarily by conscience (belief that the GPL carries with it important implications on a societal level), 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.
There is also a business-oriented goal that I have, but if it never comes to pass I will not be disappointed. I hope to show the business world (both those providing services and those receiving them) that there is a vibrant and expert pool of resources around this area, so more technology-dependant companies establish operations here, or contract with local providers. There are already many local companies using Free Software, and looking to do more. There are already many local technologists who are experts in Free Software. I hope that this website helps to create a community that brings these resources together.
You can see my resume (pdf) if you want to know where I've worked and what I've done.
What do I do with my time?
While online, I'm busy keeping up to date on roughly a dozen different high-profile Open Source projects from PHP to the GIMP. While offline, I'm usually either working on home construction / landscaping projects or playing with Max and Gabe.
