Implementing Open Source Productivity Tools

Using an open source productivity suite hosted on a cloud-based infrastructure creates a resilient and digitally autonomous environment for your project/team. By sharing the lessons learned and the challenges faced in designing and implementing such a software suite, we will offer practical advice to organizations considering similar efforts: including the pros and cons of different tools, architecture choices, and business strategies. Discussion topics will also encompass addressing privacy and security issues in deployment automation, using IaC (infrastructure as Code), and simplifying operations through external cloud hosting practices on AWS.
