[OSGeo-Discuss] new OSGeo list: industry

[Peter Baumann]

Hi activists,

we all are driven by the same belief in FOSS. Some of us do coding in their 
spare time, some make their living with it.
At the FOSS4G-Europe some 14 people met for a BoF meeting on "FOSS & business" 
putting their minds together.

OSGeo representatives Jeff McKenna and Jachym Cepicky were present, among others 
to discuss how OSGeo might support FOSS businesses. They promised to carry 
discussion into OSGeo. One outcome is this new mailing list where all who pursue 
commercial FOSS activities of any kind are invited to join (consulting, free 
code development, system integration, dual license models, journalists, etc):

Let us use this platform to find out how FOSS can make the positive difference 
for doing business in software industry! Some interesting comments are already 
posted = in the archive.

cu there,
Peter
