PRODUCTIVITY WITHOUT THE STEEP COST:
An Overview of Free Open Source Software
Speaker: Tom Gutnick, President and Chief Dragon Slayer,
  Sunny Banana IT Consulting

Audience: No technical expertise needed--just your good
business savvy.

As personal computer hardware gets cheaper and cheaper, the
cost of the software to get our work done becomes
disproportionately high. But if you're suffering those
expensive-software blues, you can find relief! Free open
source software (FOSS) can be a viable alternative to
commercial products. This session will look at the pros and
cons of using FOSS, and will spotlight some useful FOSS
packages.

Speaker: Tom Gutnick, the owner of Sunny Banana IT
Consulting, has decades of experience in many areas of
information technology, including information security,
enterprise architecture, Web site design, and software
development. His clients have ranged from Fortune 500
corporations to small businesses and nonprofit
organizations. He has taught everything from junior high
science as a Peace Corps volunteer to high-level computer
seminars for corporate audiences. In addition to personal
technology classes for Arlington Adult Education, he teaches
information systems classes at Northern Virginia Community
College.

Sunny Banana IT Consulting helps small businesses and
individuals who are struggling with the complexities of
technology and don't have their our own IT departments. With
in-depth knowledge and experience, Sunny Banana helps
clients harness the right technology for their business,
with patient and jargon-free consultation and training
customized to their needs.
