I have been using open source software for almost 25 years — in the companies and teams I manage and, of course, for personal use too.

In this workshop, I provide suggestions for the use of processes and software in both on-premises and hosted solutions, to minimise the dependency of your own IT or technology company on hyperscale behemoths.

In this workshop, I share 15 years of practical experience from distributed organisations and teams.

How do you do that? What had you better not do? Why is distributed work so different from work in in conventional offices — and if done right, usually much better?

For years, the Pelican Static Site Generator (SSG) has been my tool of choice for when it comes to managing and operating my website (and the websites of companies I manage).

In this workshop, I explain how to use Pelican effectively for your own private or professional website.
