I'm building a business that promotes using open technologies, and I'm building it on top of FOSS solutions wherever possible. Join me to learn how I'm doing it, which solutions I'm using, and what I've learned along the way.
In this interactive talk I will provide you with actionable resources to build a business using (almost) all FOSS solutions. I'll break down which tools I'm using and why. While sharing my story, I'll address any gaps where non-FOSS solutions have crept in, why, and my hopes/suggestions for replacing them with FOSS alternatives. You'll hear about my lessons learned overcoming challenges/pitfalls as well as which parts of the journey have been easy.
I’m Brandon and I've been using Linux and open source for 25+ years: first as a hobby, then a career, now in my own business.
