Three years later, Tony handed the project over to Dirk Haun, who has since been acting as the Geeklog maintainer.</p> <p>Geeklog is bona fide open-source software and has been released under the <a href="../license" rel="license" title="GNU General Public License">GNU GPLv2</a> for use by others. Configuring Geeklog is meant to be an easy process though it will require you to have access to several components of your system.</p> <p>This document is still evolving, so there may be unintended omissions or various steps may be over or under explained.
