Soren, We had similar concerns at Ubuntu-Jo and it was answered during Hardy OpenWeek.
May 03 22:19:28 <Syntux> QUESTION: From personal experience, by holding festivals, lectures, participating in conferences and giving courses about Ubuntu, we are opening a circuit that someone should close which is the opportunity of doing business; Some companies and organizations contacted us asking for the possibility of providing commercial support if they decided to switch their IT infrastructure to Ubuntu and they actually want us to handle it from A to Z; May 03 22:19:28 <Syntux> would it hurt to give such commercial support on freelancer basis or becoming sort of mediation between Canonical tech support and local companies? May 03 22:30:35 <boredandblogging> Synutx asked if the LoCo can provide commercial support to companies May 03 22:31:36 <boredandblogging> specifically if the business opportunity can be done under the LoCo team May 03 22:32:50 <boredandblogging> while that really isn't the point of the LoCo team, I would probably encourage creating some kind of legal entity May 03 22:33:16 <boredandblogging> while probably partnering with Canonical to provide partner services -- loco-contacts mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/loco-contacts
