Hello MJ Ray, Am 2012-02-16 17:35:47, hacktest Du folgendes herunter: > 1. what prevents SMEs from using debian more? RedHat, Novel/SuSE, Mandriva and maybe Canonical, do active publicity of there services. Not the Debian Project. I think, because Debian has no commercial background and each Debian Consultant has to do its own stuff, Debian is lesser popular. Me and some other Debian Consultants offering full service, but unfortunately no one know it. I for my self have not the financial background to do the "big" publicity, which mean, I work only local in a very restricted area. > 2. what could the debian project offer to consultants to help you > to help more companies to use debian more? Maybe split the Debian Consultants List into categories whioch services they offer and what they do. I think, it would be better, having a database driven Debian Consultants page with tags for each consultant... Note: I am also offering Web- and Database-Hosting and I am specialised to PostgreSQL sind more then 10 years. Also Intranet-Web-Design. Such infos should be on the Debian Consultants page too, because it is frustrating for a customer, to contact 10 Consultants and get always a negative answer because he/she need a special service... The Weblinks are OK, but if somone need a special service, he/she should find it already on the Debian Consultants page by entering some keywords in a search form > 3. who's reading this list these days? Me. Michelle Konzack, using Debian GNU/Linux since March 1999, and being Debian Consultant since 2001 by starting customized Intranet Solutions and today the whole service the Debian Repository can offer, except, that I refuse to work with KDE/GNOME. > And here's my answer to 3: I'm MJ Ray, I'm a far-too-idle debian > developer who works as part of software.coop, which started out in > 2002 managing servers and developing web sites for private companies > and now does that, plus library catalogues and groupware for all sorts > of enterprises.
