wow, it's been a long time since i've posted an article here.
embedded linux
i used to think the linux distro arena was crowded... but
after taking a gander at the embedded linux arena, i feel
smothered. redmond linux is looking for funding, and for
that we are focusing on [high level] embedded stuff... but
what a crowded space!
talking open source to VC's
...VC's who see open source, specifically publishing your IP
on the 'net, as a "major hole" in a business
plan. what does it take to convince people with checkbooks
that open source doesn't conflict with money making? i'm
looking to use lots of good arguments from esr's the
magic cauldron.
reusable projects
what we [i?] need is a clearing house for orphaned
projects. i've got a linux kb i've been trying
to dump off on someone else for a year and a half, and i
can't find anyone to pick it up. i think it's got too much
potential to orphan. how many other projects are in the same
state? wouldn't it be great if there was a site where we
could dump our old projects off, and troll for new cool
things? methinks sourceforge is halfway
there. or does it exist already? please let me know.
