What do you mean "near future"? Does it mean immediate or few months
down the line?
few years down the line. but sure, after I gain some experience .
One strategy that works somewhat well though I don't like it is you
make a program open source and then give a premium edition with
certain killer features. I personally hold it immoral and cruel to
do it, however you can try it. AFAIK not many ppl do this these
days.
Is it really so. But, what about MySQL, IBM etc.... They have both
Premium edition and community edition.
I don't actually understand the question since
open source means available to all ppl at all parts of the world. So
if I understand correctly you are talking about such a thing working
in the Indian society/culture.
Yes in the Indian society and how indian market sees open source
Our society still considers entrepreneurship as
taboo. And being a developing nation we have 100s of small small
things to take care. You can never take anything for granted.
Exactly
However things are lookup up very much these days and I am sure
things are only going to get better in the coming days.
It will be good then
Have an informal culture. Dont say, "come in formal dress." It
positively kills creativity. Ppl should feel as comfy at office as
they are at home. At the same time you should ensure professionalism
and make sure that work gets done.
That is well said. Even the same thought was going in on my mind.
Wait, I just noticed you mentioned the word "from scratch". I personally
dont like it. Do you mean reinventing the wheel? If you try that, then
other ppl will overtake you and you will be left in the lurch.
"from scratch" here does not refer to the open source softwares. It
refers to my start-up ie. how to proceed.
My God help you in your noble endeavors!
Best,
Thanks
