Hi all, I'm totally n00b in such field and sorry if I'm talking about obvious things but what I have in my mind is organizing sufficient infrastructure/place/rules/schedules to let various developers meet various deployments needs.
It could be like a bank of deployment needs, some needs could be payed some not, some came from individuals(who is going to pay or not) some from small/large deployments, from non-profit and for-profit organizations etc. It's not only about founding developers(via payed needs) but it has such benefit.
