Hi Paulo Makes perfect sense and indeed good scheme for potential/actual OMA sponsors.
The idea below is though about companies, which may be have no need at all for our product, but seek outsourced good service, and ready to pay. OMA can be the guarantee of good service and the name behind, and service would be supplied by members. So this is a bit different, as I see it. Could be a nice chance for our contributors to earn some extra. Guys, attention, please send not only list of skills, but end-products examples as well. this is not limited at all to our product, if you as well do game apps developing or whatever else - it applies here:) Cheers Kate On 26Feb, 2014, at 8:24 PM, [email protected] wrote: > Kate Lebedeff escreveu: >> Hi all > > Hi, > >> Recently I spoke to several companies which could be interested in various >> ways >> of technical cooperation with OpenMandriva.
