Noble thoughts. I'm not a lawyer, so this is mostly a question: if you're dealing in open-source only, and your product is service, wouldn't it make sense to form a partnership firm?<p>All the things he talks about - a sense of ownership, people managing their own affairs, shared responsibilities - are made explicit when you do it that way, right?
Here's a snapshot of their quarterly earnings report:<p>"Good morning and thank you for your interest in our company. I'm happy to announce that over the past 3 months we have seen a 5% yoy increase in Git commits and a whopping 25% increase in refactorings..."
I don't know, it all sounds a bit too good to be true. I love working on open source software myself, so I wish them the best of luck, though, because if it works out, it sounds like a dream company.
I really would like to start a company with quite the same rules. Perhaps I should start by getting my ass up and contributing more to open source software.
