To recap what we had discussed at our last meeting, we were trying to determine who would be the most interested in an open source based business model as I have set forth in Profiting from the New Global Resource. This is something that seems pretty limited at first glance.  I set about trying to determine exactly what an opportunity of this kind actually offered and then realized that the demographic might actually be everyone in all sectors of business and computer systems.  I have actually written a "white paper" describing the reasoning behind this I am offering free in pdf format.  I am attaching a copy to this email for your review. 

I have also noted something that might be significant.  Colleges and Universities owe it to their students to forward this information to them.  As a graduate from a four year computer science program, I would have been so far ahead if I had known all of this when I graduated.  I had to find out about all of this on my own. That is not necessary anymore.  And the thought that a college program might even incorporate this kind of practice, itself, would benefit the students in terms of starting out with actual work experience in the real world even before they graduate.

As explained in the free white paper, that I have attached here, the key is leveraged collaboration in which a wide diversity of skill sets are required in terms consulting, subcontracting, outsourcing and VISION. The practice isn't limited by size of business or the presence of competition.  Individuals can participate equally with organizations because the application functionality is a commodity, as is the skill sets required to implement them for end users.

Let me know what you think of the "white paper".  

I am looking forward to our next appointment.
