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).  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 technology-dependant companies might establish operations here, or contract with local providersThis might seem like a longshot, but until then, people like me have to work in places like Cambridge which just isn't really neat and cool since it requires commuting at least 10 hours per week.  I would rather spend that time playing trains with my sons, or doing something useful.

Who am I?[edit | edit source]

I'm Greg "freephile" Rundlett. freephile means "lover of freedom" like "freedomphile" would be, except that in a moment of bad decision-making, I chose to shorten it; forever confusing the moniker with "free file"; which is not what it stands for at all.

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]

While online, I'm busy keeping up to date on roughly a dozen different high-profile Free Software projects from PHP to OpenOffice to the GIMP. Interests describes some of the technology, hardware and/or software-related things that occupy my time. While offline, I'm busy with my two sons or working on projects around the house and yard. I enjoy organic gardening and photography. As often as possible, I take off into the woods, trails, and mountains to enjoy the swimming, hiking and scenery of New England.

Local[edit | edit source]

As a board member of the Coastal Trails Coalition I work to expand the trail network and also volunteer to do their technology platform. I live in Salisbury, MA
