Re: Some questions about asimplecomputer.com?

Hi Mario,

one of the things we are working on since this DS is to figure out how are we 
going to deal with comapnies. To me, stories like yours are very interesting to 
promote, but we don't have a proper way to do it yet without generating conflict 
with the "community side".

I hope we have a good and definite solution for this by the end of the year.

Even if we finally come with something to promote this story now, it won't be a 
general solution and I thing it is time for us to face that, if we want to 
become mainstream, we have to add a "commercial point of view to KDE" within our 
infrastructure. We have to disscuss yet how, since it is a sensible topic. We 
would like to have a suggestion comming from the promo team soon to be widely 
disscussed.

By the way, I don't feel like I have any authority either about publishing this 
on the Dot.
