Professional services in Linux ... discussions ...
nishandh M
Most of us have very different ideas about how Linux should evolve in our society
Entirely forum-driven manner Vs Professionally supplemented manner or any other mode?
here we would discuss about monopolisation / buisiness ethics / etc, in a a region based context. shall we limit the scope to Kerala state?
I am not aware of similiar threads, please mention if there are.

which stated like addressing an institution which provides
professional services in Linux is not really preferred, in forums. I
think it should be debated for positive evolution of linux in our
society.
take this example: One among my thrust area is video production. I am
not glad to say, that sometimes I am running partly on cracked
proprietary software for the 'capture-edit-export' workflow. When i
turn to FOSS, I am dealing(I, the non-geek) with problems that could
be very defeating, like suddenly finding a bug, which would render my
edit-list unable to be exported to a rendering system. Substituting
video hardware are going to cost me in multiples of thousands, i am
not easy with that.
In this specific case, It is different from a Linux expert discussing
a configuration issue, here it is a biologist looking for support.
When i cant configure much, and i am in a time cum manpower shortage
situation, my option would be to go for professional services in
linux. Its better when I can go into an institution and avail from
their past experiences in setting up different linux systems, than
wait for somebody else in the forum to answer, or digg in internet to
find myself with a configuration I cannot buy in this part of the
world.
I am happy that there are firms in Kerala, which installs Linux in the
systems taken from them and deals with bugs where ever they can. Thats
beyond what forums can do. I need such institutes to exist, and their
services should be addressed.

all the ubuntu repositories from them, which would otherwise
impossible for me to download.
Also, i can refer to them the GNU/linux installations i could not do.
So, that types of services should be there. Free software is not
against business or charging users the installation or service
charges.

May be this is Offtopic to this thread..But I have a doubt??
According to GPL and OpenSource mantra,
is it ok to sell the source code of a product??
I mean
I developed a software and I am ready to make the source code open but only by payment..
Is it inside the OpenSource Idea??

But it should be at a reasonable cost. But when you are selling the
software, you should also give the person, whom the software is sold,
the freedom to copy, use, modify including selling.
But in open source licences, like bsd licence, it is not necessary.
The person you are selling should give only the attribution to you by
including your name in about us or any other.
I am not much aware of opensource licences. Please correct me if i am wrong.
