I’ve been thinking about how many small companies are using FLOSS to manage their systems every day.
It would be great if such a list exists.

There is an older ‘free software business’ mailing list at http://www.crynwr.com/fsb/ Might be a little too open-registration for you, though; might instead want to follow the http://flossfoundations.org/ model and only do invite-only until a list culture is established that you’re comfortable with.

@knidnap: that were blogs from me and Rob Taylor, and we are working on that business model indeed.

His company is called Codethink and mine is Codeminded.Both are working as a tandem, atm.

I remember a posting on p.g.o about founding an open source business network (not sure who wrote the post), where companies would participate as partners. Don’t know if this ever took off (I’m guessing no, else ther’d be more noise around it), but something that got me interested. I’d love to see this, and I’m betting that it would serve well for handing over business opportunities.

I think that could be a valuable resource for people. some people who work on software might not be so business oriented so a good place to start would help!
