Well, I was thinking more about continuation of support from the IRC channels. You know most people on there are legit.
no, you don't.
So after a certain period of time, for a sum, if it is getting nowhere on the channel, paid support could be offered.

The way I see it is that the LoCo provides free, open, peer reviewed advice. The questions are open, the answers are open, people can point out bad answers to things. People not involved in the conversation can learn from it.

If someone wants to ask a question in private and get a personal answer, perhaps with money changing hands, then that is totally awesome and we should support that, but doing it isn't a LoCo activity as such, it is a private transaction. I am all in favour of there being a healthy support ecosystem around Ubuntu in the UK and I think the LoCo should support companies and sole traders, but not be one.

Does that distinction make sense?

Alan.
