Open Source Entrepreneurialism

Presented at Notacon 2 (2005), April 8, 2005, 12:30 p.m. (120 minutes)

Write software, Give it away, ...Profit. It is possible to build a successful business by using FOSS as the cornerstone. How you get there, particularly with the current economy is not so easy. We hope to share our experience in starting a company, from business plan and paperwork through the first clients, and have some discussion of markets where members of the community can start their own competitive enterprises.
