do you mean use Free Software for the business processes of any business?<br>
For example, using ledger for the accounting?<br>
<br>
Or, do you mean, turn Free Software knowledge and skills into a business<br>
such as by doing some consulting?<br>

Someone should make a presentation about starting and running a business<br>
with Linux. You guys spent all this time discussing visas and employment,<br>
but instead, someone should show how to start a business.<br>
<br>
I'd appreciate it if someone considered sharing their knowledge at one of<br>
the next plugs. I'd like to know how to turn my extensive knowledge of cat<br>
and vim into American money.<br>
