The Creative Freedom Suite for Professionals

Day 27 ^th May

TALK

18:00

Most free and open-source software enthusiasts will have heard: "Free software is okay for hobbyist but not professionals." That is wrong.

By now most free and open-source software enthusiasts will have heard something like: "Free software is okay for hobbyist but not professionals." That is wrong and our agency has set out to prove it.

To outsiders Freehive looks like most creative agencies doing a variety of design, development, and animation work. The big difference is Freehive only uses free and open-source tools to do it. See how a suite of freely licensed, widely available tools have enabled us to execute on creative ideas for paying clients without a single compulsory software subscription.

This presentation by Ryan Gorley, the Creative Director at Freehive, is part show-and-tell and part invitation to others who have the opportunity to choose their tools to choose free and open source software.
