Aloha you lovely people! I personally believe that people should make
business out of free software. Here are some of my business ideas
involving GNU Guix. I invite you all to beat me to market!
- Become a competitor to jmp.chat. jmp.chat is a free software cell
phone service. I use it. They charge $3 per month. Unlimited
calling and texting. Not to shabby. Somewhere on their website, they
link to a wiki that has all of their source code and the nitty gritty
details on how to use their service. Someone could make this a
service in GNU Guix and then ANYONE could compete with jmp.chat.
- Sell your emacs config. Guix should make it possible for people to
download and install a custom emacs. I believe one of the guix
developers is currently making a custom emacs for guix usage...can
someone link to that for me? You could make a custom channel, that
somehow people can only access if they pay for you it. This is
free software, BUT people need to pay to use it. "Conversations"
(that's how I use jmp.chat) on my Android phone, has this business
model. You have to pay to download the software, but it is free
software.
- Sell free software games. I'm sure guix could help you do this is
some way...
- If we package sourcehut, people could try to compete with Drew
Devault. Though that guy works 80 hours a week. So best of luck
competing against him!
Thanks!
Joshua
