<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>OK, Let's make it clear: One needs a Business Plan. Choice of words may be unwise, since I don't plan myself making cash out of it, I yet have to justify running costs.<br /> <br /> '''Key Idea''': If you make money with it, you should pay for it. If not, then you should not.<br /> <br /> =Ethics=<br /> <br /> Any such Business Plan ''must'' fit with the ethics of Free Software. That does mean that you ''can'' make money out of it, but that (to simplify) the concept of intellectual property has to go (quite) through the window. People must share ideas, models,... Code?<br /> <br /> What's the fuss about Ethics after all, we are quite far away from OpenSource Central, arent't we? Well, yes indeed but that's 50% of the plan: explain, convince, evangelise about it. Better be the first to show the way...<br /> <br /> =As of Now=<br /> <br /> * Everything that happen in my office is free, be it for personal use or pro.<br /> * Every request on-location must be paid for (Delivery is one dollar, etc).<br /> <br /> =Targets=<br /> <br /> * At 50 Discs out, I buy www.tropicalicecube.net or www.distrotheque.com<br /> * At 100 discs out, I buy the correct CD/DVD cover printer<br /> <br /> =Further down the road=<br /> <br /> * Make business pay for their software, because they are aware of the system, where if they pay other people can have it for free.<br /> <br /> * Offer training on Desktops for employees<br /> <br /> <br /> Register with the [http://groups.google.com/group/pplug PPLUG] mailing list to have a more lively conversation about this.<br /> <br /> Back to [[Your ideas]] Wiki page<br /> <br /> Back to [[Tropical Ice Cube]] Wiki page<br /> <br /> Back to [http://tic.zenerves.net=Tropical Ice Cube web page]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Tropical Ice Cube]]</div>
