Hi Mauri, I will reply back latter for other email on building team and my ideas for that.. Regarding this, I'm not supporting.. There are two part of this project. One is build the strong base product and other one do customization based on individual hospitals needs. The base product should be open source and should be proper document and more developers needed to enhance the product. Currently lot of work needed on review and redesign that architecture/refactor that code base. I basically worked on customization on this Care2x sometime back and contributed some of the activity of the project in past. So, i know the code base and the issues. In the other side, there were many customization going on for hospitals, but not much information passed back to base product and not under control of this project admin too. And more funding gone for that area. Developers who spent time on project need to get some benefits/reputation. that i agree. but, in mean time, we should consider this is open source project and we may not have much funding to lead whole development. And not like idea to bring developers to project just to earn money with this.. It definitely not help for project in long term. My suggestion is, first we create internal developer team and project organization as well. Totally volunteer organization and people can share the spare time to build the project. Once project and web site then all releases, road map in proper place. What could provide service for customization with Care2x team for the hospitals needs and which will be monitor through project admins and it can be discuss within team. The resource in team can be allocated based on availability and compensated for those customization works. In mean time, any one can do their own customization for the hospitals with base product release which has no control over in Care2x team. regardsSenthil --- On Sat, 1/5/10, mauri.ni...@gmail.com <mauri.ni...@gmail.com> wrote:
From: mauri.ni...@gmail.com <mauri.ni...@gmail.com> Subject: [Care2002-developers] Idea how to make money with Care2x To: care2002-developers@lists.sourceforge.net Received: Saturday, 1 May, 2010, 1:38 PM Hi Everybody, Two years ago we needed developers for our project and one idea was to use remote developers for certain tasks. We had some funds for that purpose and when I mailed in this list I got some replies. That time our hospitals chose onsite developers. For the webERP project we got Tim Schoffield in this way and he has since then been supporting webERP project in our hospitals (onsite and remotely). The idea has been in my mind since then. It might be one solution to the problem Pepito has expressed. It could be also one way to use any donations the project might get. I repeat my idea here. When developer and client do not know each other the trust may be a problem but solution could be eBay like system. If the work is publicly offered in this channel it can be verified in online demo when it is finnished. The client will pay what was aggreed after it is done (the payment amount need not to be public). The reputation of developer and client are the only force that will make them follow their oblications. The project can be split in tasks and if the tasks are small enough the risk is not too big to developer or client. This kind of system might attract more developers and also clients to use Care2x when they have a better way to get support in their project. I have seen during the years that we have worked in our project that it is really difficult to find volunteers, but this may be the way to energize the community. What do you think about this idea?
