Sorry, off-topic. Here maybe is one big help for giving FOSS a better business sense.
I got this from Richard Alam of asterisk-ph. Some of you guys may be able to contribute.
---------------------------------------- The Ontario (Canada) government has funded research and programs on how to commercialize OSS. The OSBR is a newsletter to disseminate knowledge on lessons learned about OSS. ==== The July 2007 issue of the Open Source Business Resource (OSBR) published by the Talent First Network is now available for free at http://www.osbr.ca Please examine and distribute the link to the OSBR to those who may benefit from reading it. Please let us know whether or not you wish to contribute articles to future issues. Page 25 provides a schedule of the topics we plan to address. The OSBR examines the issues relevant to the development and commercialization of open source assets, including open content. The intent is for the OSBR to: * help create the right environment for companies to commercialize goods and services based on open source assets * remove barriers to the commercialization of open source assets * surface the open source related activity that is going on in companies, universities and governments and knits it together as a cohesive story that we can take to the world * evolve to satisfy the needs of companies that use open source to compete Initially, the scope of the OSBR will be the province of Ontario, then Canada, and eventually the world. Dru Lavigne is the editor of the OSBR. Her email is: [EMAIL PROTECTED] We would be grateful if you could please: * distribute the link to the OSBR as widely as possible * contribute articles * suggest topics of interest and potential authors * let us know how we can improve the OSBR * subscribe to the OSBR * volunteer to the Advisory Board, and * highlight events and news that pertain to open source development and commercialization in your community. Many thanks in advance - we would very much like to hear from you! Salamat. Richard -----------------------------------------------------
