True and who amongst the Linux Professionals want to face the Customer each day
try building up an inhouse team of Linux/OSS people it's a dreadful job, I'm the "Linux" person in my company and we use Linux in a wide range of things, It took ages to get someone to take over some of what I do, and finding anymore good Linux developers is quite a pita.. it took them 4-5mths just to find me and that was by pure luck that I was on my way to Australia at the time when I heard about the job...
communicating the things that have done and the things that needs to be done; ensuring
the Customer knows where the Project is exactly at and is comfortable with the progress
of the jobs; who amongst the Linux Professionals take the responsibility to smooth out
Customers concerns when they arise and who will Indemnify the Customer for any
items in the contract that the supplier can not deliver, and so. This is the role for large
entrepreneural organizations. The role for Linux Professionals is to get on with the job
and get paid for the job thats been done.
Granted little of our work is open sourced, we give back what we have to and some more besides so maybe Linux people don't want to work unless they are giving everything back ...
