random thoughts while on information overload...
"what to do while waiting on others..
..live the life of an openacs evangelist"
some basic proverbs
When companies buy something, they don't want to have the product given away to others who might compete against them.
Joint-ventures are difficult to create when prospect companies share the same markets.
Developers (software experts) that look for funding have similar economic circumstances to consultants (business experts). Both want to get significant compensation for the least risk by contributing to projects where others take the greatest risk. Expert markets are very competitive. The struggle consists of endless sales maneuvers and loosing clients to others.. except for the few who have found special niches.
What to do?
Find the Openacs niches.
Find companies with similar openacs needs but that do not share markets.
Creat your own clients by becoming a significant stakeholder in projects that you know can use your resources and that will be able to compensate you as/when the project succeeds.
