In the usual sense, yes, I am the only one working for the company at this
time. I have a VP who is mainly a consultant and the voice of fiscal reality
at this time.
In the wider sense, TriLUG provides invaluable support. I also have a
supplier on whom I depend for survival. I have several clients who are
egging me on based on their own self-interest (where does that expression
"egging on" come from? Actions based on its literal interpretation might
render results contrary those expected under its customary interpretation.).
I am learning to build income producing opportunities from services rendered
using OS (GNU/Linux in particular), and by selling a product that I am
building that is carefully crafted to avoid dependence on GPL'd programs and
code. If I am successful, this new income stream will fund developer
contracts and OS support. In the N&O article where I was interviewed, the
author Christina Dyrness describes Robin Miller's position that "free"
software is really subsidized software. I agree with that position. My goal
is to find and channel funding toward subsidizing OS.
