I'm not sure if any one would be willing to do it, but I'd really like to see examples of how people turned free software into a business. Consulting, education, or development?

I know Bash was one of the few programs that GNU foundation ever paid for, so it happens once in a blue moon. 😆

Kind of like how RedHat sells support and not software. How does that work out for us little guys or is there even a market?

moin moin,

do you mean use Free Software for the business processes of any business?
For example, using ledger for the accounting?

Or, do you mean, turn Free Software knowledge and skills into a business
such as by doing some consulting?

Someone should make a presentation about starting and running a business
with Linux. You guys spent all this time discussing visas and employment,
but instead, someone should show how to start a business.

I'd appreciate it if someone considered sharing their knowledge at one of
the next plugs. I'd like to know how to turn my extensive knowledge of cat
and vim into American money.
