Please don't think I'm limiting anything-- I may speak simply at times but if I do assume that's just an example.
If you haven't seen it yet, check out the first in my series of use case scenarios to get just one idea of where I see unexplored value: http://tabulacrypticum.wordpress.com/2009/09/14/mid-use-case-mobile-auditing-and-inspection/ Randy ----- Original message ----- From: "gary liquid" <[email protected]> To: "List for community development" <[email protected]> Subject: Re: A business case for Maemo Date: Thu, 15 Oct 2009 14:40:26 +0000 Randall, I agree entirely. Why limit it to device support though? we have a platform that can be custom coded to specification and collect/process and transmit data immediately - from the palm of your hand. you can take these devices places where laptops are intrusive and you can obtain the data required for a business better than any other off the shelf piece of hardware. i can potentially see thousands of SME businesses benefiting from this kind of platform, it just needs a full business team from the maemo end :) gary On Thu, Oct 15, 2009 at 2:21 PM, Randall Arnold <[email protected]> wrote: I started thinking about this before the Summit and it really gelled for me in Amsterdam, sharing excitement and energy with everyone there: There are so many unemployed and underemployed people in this community, and so much potential with Maemo. �Maybe it's time at least some of us consider creating a global, virtual cooperative with common goals and find some way to make a living at what we enjoy. While at Nokia I found myself driving to work every day (especially at the factory) thinking "I can't wait to get to work and get back on the project waiting for me there!". �As crazy as it sounds, I was constantly engaged while employed with them and despitre the occasional frustrations really, really loved working there. My current job inspires no such excitement... but being around you guys and experiencing the thrill of discovery with the N900 made me realize THAT is where I want to be. So... am I the only one thinking like this? �Is it "wrong" to want to wrap a career around Maemo device support? �And if it isn't, what value could a potential virtual team provide?
