Hello Linux Live CD developers, Please be notify that your Linux Live Distribution will be available for sale on linuxlivecd.com very soon. To encourage sharing and long term substainity of this technology, LinuxLiveCD.com will share a percentage of profit with your group no more than 15%. Now please discuss with your member and determine what percentage your group would like, and reply me no later than Friday. Bear in mind, this is PURELY an act of courtesy; your group is not in any sense affilate with LinuxLiveCD.com, nor it represent any kind of obligation for your part. (Certainly, it would be better if you assist us.) Likewise LinuxLiveCD.com do NOT necessarily agree with your group's position toward commercialization. If you do make the choice of brutally REFUSE any donation from us, LinuxLiveCD will still keep a percentage of profit generate from your distribution as "EMERGENCY fund", just in case your group may need. Again, in LinuxLiveCD.com we see it as our mission to promote Linux commercially(like Michael Robertson). And believe this is a better way to bring Linux en mass.Can you imagine a world WITHOUT Redhat, Mandrake, Suse or many commercial vendor/packager of Linux, how many Linux user will be there? If it wasn't one of them, I myself won't be using Linux(and over 99% of people) at the first place, let alone doing that. If there isn't any profit, IBM, Oracle, PeopleSoft won't be on our side. There is NOTHING wrong with doing business itself, the ONLY thing maybe wrong is the way we conduct our business. We are open to your opinion on that. Remember, reply me by Friday! Good luck with your project! Coridially, Euler Project Manager LinuxLiveCD.com Hong Kong P.S. The Project Area is open for ANY Linux Live CD developer to use WITHOUT any pre-condition. Our terms has relaxed somewhat. P.S.S Would you like to HELP ME HELP new Linux user? Why newbie would fall back to Window again? One way to make their life easier is make a sort of "step by step illustrated guide" on how to use Linux Live CD to accomplish daily task. Could we work together on that? It will be a GREAT SERVICE to many Linux Live CD users. And it will release under Open License v 1.1. Who would like to help? |
