Open Source…I think I see the light!
I found this excellent open source as a business model rant on the Luminotes wiki. This is not the typical “everything should be digital and everything digital should be free” rant, instead the poster makes the argument that customers should pay for the VALUE derived from software and not simply ACCESS to software. This makes sense to me, afterall, what are your salespeople actually delivering, a license or a solution to a customer problem.
Simplicity wins… !!!

For those who attended the Kauffman GEW Kickoff on 11/17 we made a prediction that a coworking facility will open in Tampa in early ’09. If you are interested in this project contact me or join in the discussion on the Tampa Coworking & Jelly Google Group.
