[p2p-research] consultancy on open source business models

[Michel Bauwens]

Hi Peter,

I would be very interested in a more formal description of your project, to
present it to our blog and see what extra reactions we can get.

Here already informally as an appeal to our research community,

Would you consider writing an essay on your insights so far?

Michel

Hi Micheal

Thanks for adding me here on ning.
I don't know if you remember, but I asked for advice concerning my
graduation project from the kaospilots.

The project was about the financial model used by, among others, open source
software companies. The aim was to describe the model and give companies the
tool to know if it could be interesting to them.
I believe that by getting more people to use this model, there would be
create a lot more open content. In the same way that showing the economic
benefits of saving energy, has made many companies cut down on energy. Even
though it was mainly financially motivated, it has still helped the
environment.

Since the end of the project I have worked further with the ideas. I am
currently iin the process of starting a consultancy. This consultancy will
help companies figure oput if they could benefit from a business model where
they share more products freely, and help them implement it in the best
possible way. You can see more at www.freemium.eu

If you have any project at the foundation where this angle could be
beneficial, I would be glad to volunteer my help.

I am still in the process of starting up. So if you have any suggestions for
people who might be interested in collaborating with me, I would be very
interested them

Best
Peter
