The culture is the most important aspect of converting science to
usefulness, and creating wealth, which is what our economy depends on- more
than any other in fact (U.S.- SF is very dependent on wealth creation
elsewhere). I've been an integral part of the best work in the world on the
topic for over two decades- entrepreneurial culture, so it's foolhardy not
to listen. Several dozen other states and countries have listened- not so
much the U.S. Every dollar invested at LANL, SFI, etc. can be traced to that
culture, albeit elsewhere in the U.S. primarily.
The primary reason for sharing is for the benefit of the members. I am
taking home my marbles- or rather not willing to invest in commercializing
technology a market dominated by subsidies and theory where the business
culture isn't competitive. So what I am saying in part is that the
priorities in Santa Fe are misaligned to its needs in the fast changing
world, or its strengths, but then so too is the country it sits in, so it's
not unusual in that regard. More subsidies won't change the culture, but
actually reinforces it.
Beyond that, since this community is about software and complexity, which is
at the core of Kyield, perhaps someone knows someone who is interested and
qualified. I suspect that the license will go to a giant, but we'll give
others a chance first.

Mark,
Two questions:
What do you mean culture?
And, why are you telling us: it feels like you are taking home your
marbles.

Hi folks,
After testing the local market over the past several months, in
combination
with where my wife and I are in life, and knowing what it takes to be
globally competitive-- I've made the decision not to build out Kyield in
Santa Fe. The science here is reasonably well matched, but not the
culture
for this kind of business.
Kyield is a holistic enterprise software and communications system that
is
designed to increase meritocracy in the workplace, reduce information
overload, improve innovation, and allow the individual and org to manage
the
knowledge yield curve for their specific needs- patent-pending.
Architecture
can be functional/written on any major platform, although I have
personally
been a bit biased towards semantic web standards. Five thousand of the
world's largest organizations have consumed everything we have made
public,
so we have a bit of interest.....
Created a license faqs doc and am sharing with my entire network in case
anyone is interested:
