==== Why this website? ====
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 "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
