Open Source Tools for Freelancers

After nearly two years of full-time freelancing, I have learned a lot about maintaining my own website, making backups, managing version control, keeping track of time spent on projects, and invoicing tools. Come to this session where I will share much of what I've learned and present open source tools I have found essential for successful freelancing.

Topics covered:

• How to choose among shared/virtual/dedicated/cloud hosting options.
• Simple, effective options for making regular, local and off-site backups.
• Painless ways to utilize version control.
• Simple time-tracking and invoicing tools.
