I post this so I can be poke by all of you to remind me, next year to bring Tim for our conference. I believe this is good for our developers and freelance to learn and be guide about entrepreneurship.
I will propose a workshop during conference that we can invite entrepreneurs to meet developers and discuss collaboration. ------------- http://latinoware.org/node/207 Managers working in the social network with a free software platform Timothy Ney, the Linux Greenhouse, virtual incubator of companies and projects in open source, will share the results of studies of the Linux Greenhouse in 2009, led by a team of Harvard Business School, to promote the incubation and growth of resources for Free Software projects . Some entrepreneurs interviewed for the research came from Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay, with many of the participants of the workshop 'Linux Greenhouse' in Latinoware 2008. Most respondents described the technical competence as one of its great strengths. Its weaknesses were the lack of ability in business and sustainability. When they had confidence in their abilities to build applications, and more importantly, open source, they did not know how to get funding, what business models will be employed to offer customers, develop sales strategies, or how to create scalable solutions. To address these needs, the Linux Greenhouse is creating a social network for entrepreneurs and professionals, is recruiting companies, cooperatives and public sector to integrate them into the network. Timothy Ney lead workshops entrepreneurship with the use of open source software, as well as talk during Latinoware 2009. Linux Greenhouse workshop The workshop is targeted to social entrepreneurs and public projects in the middle stages of development. Companies and projects interested in participating should during the workshop, make a presentation from 5 to 10 minutes. After each presentation, other participants will give a peer-to-peer feedback on the strengths and obstacles of the projects outlined. To participate in the workshop Linux Greenhouse, during the Latinoware, go to Lab 2 Block 9, and talk to the mentors. The Linux Greenhouse will direct participants in helping: * creation of new products or services; * expansion of current products or services; * insight on how to join a new market; * new procedures in the management and organization of work. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Join Open Source Developers Club Malaysia http://www.osdc.my/ Facebook Fan page http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=98685301577 http://www.facebook.com/OSDC.my You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "OSDC.my Mailing List" group.
