I don't know what "addressing this kind of issue" means in practical terms but I am not sure it's the job of the foundation to e.g, market commercial offerings of businesses, even if those offering are related to GNOME. That sounds to me like a kind of homework that falls into the plate of said companies. We are a non-profit organisation with limited resources. Communicating around the commercial offering of /one/ company can be a non-straightforward exercise, when you want to do it right. Even more for the commercial offerings of /several/ companies. Do we really want to take that route? > My opinion is that the GNOME foundation could be a good place to > develop even more the business ecosystem around GNOME I'd be interested in learning more about what you mean by this, in practical terms. Could you give an example of what thing you'd like to see happen in this area? -- Dodji _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
