FOSS as a business case
Since the summer of 2007 DoréDevelopment have changed from a regular consultancy business within proprietary embedded software development into one of the largest independent development departments within embedded Linux on customized platforms in Denmark. Today 70-80% of DoréDevelopment turnover is based on FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) and DoréDevelopment is working hard to keep and expand our FOSS based business.
In the merge from working with ordinary proprietary embedded software the whole business-case had to be reinvented and on a large number of business agreement issues DoréDevelopment had to fight battles against unrealistic perceptions of FOSS and product development based on FOSS.
Mads Doré will talk and circle around FOSS based business, customers perception of FOSS and the pitfalls learned by DoréDevelopment during the merge to a FOSS based business.
