Donna Benjamin runs a small business called Creative Contingencies that specialises in customised web application services, research and facilitating meetings and events.
A passionate advocate of Free and Open Source Software solutions for small business and education, Donna contributes to the FOSS community by organising great events. Recent projects include running the internationally recognised linux.conf.au conference in Melbourne, Australia. As the first woman to take on the role of 'lead organiser' or 'Grand Pajamaran' of LCA she oversaw a geekfest involving 700 bodies and lived to tell the tale.
Donna enjoys speaking 'off-the-cuff' about open source, open standards, women in technology, inkscape and running a small business. As a facilitator she co-ordinates panel discussions, and manages questions from the floor, as well as organising workshops, tutorials and strategic planning sessions.
