There is also a business-oriented goal that I have, perhaps secondary to the personal goal.  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.

After years of work, the old freephile site started to suffer from neglect because I was just too busy.  I used it as a testbed for free software projects and my own ideas but did not necessarily keep on top of it.  Unfortunately, along came a script-kiddie from Saudi Arabia who defaced the website.  Due to the security breach, I had to take the site offline.  It may be gone, but it is certainly not forgotten.  I actually still have the whole thing tucked away, safe from malicious doers of evil.  Now, I'll be working to bring back the best of Freephile, combined with an improved infrastructure so that others can join me in the effort.  A collaborative effort is really the only way to keep on top of things.

Who am I?[edit | edit source]

I'm Greg Rundlett (aka freephile).

Why am I building this website?[edit | edit source]

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 area. If 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.

Site Goals provides more details about the vision for this website.

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 Open Source 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 usually either working on home construction / landscaping projects or playing with Max and Gabe. As often as possible, the whole family takes off to enjoy the swimming, hiking and skiing at Moose Pond.

PHP is the HyperText Preprocessor = the most popular programming language for the web
