AMIGAplus 02/2003 - A wolf in sheep's clothing : Comment 91 of 194 | ANN.lu |
Posted by greenboy on 28-Feb-2003 08:19 GMT | In reply to Comment 89 (Anonymous): @anon
Genesi has some done deals - this is not speculating - of huge volume. These assure cash flow to finance internal development and management payrolls, do some broad spectrum seeding, pay for specific apps and subsystems, pay office and tradeshow and travel overhead for the midterm, as well as working on other projects with partners and subcontractors such as http://www.plexuscom.com/ .
This allows Genesi to proceed in the embedded/services direction as well as on the desktop. MorphOS is the operating system specified, which means software written for it on said device (or any other device) can run on MorphOS desktops as well (though for the desktop as compared to a small footprint device, the desktop code might be considered a superset).
Genesi can sustain and build themselves as a company while driving efforts such as GameTeam@phinixi.com - which is certainly an opportunity for any proven commercial games developers or Aminet hopefuls. And Genesi is pretty good at deciding what part of their approach to business and development is "open".
They seem to have good sense in working with others, accepting feedback and ideas, taking criticism and using it to improve and build upon. The fact that they are willing to talk publicly about much of what others would hide behind NDA and SDA makes them more open to criticism, and it is not hard to spot faults and unfinished thoughts. But ultimately it also is helping them build WITH a community instead of just standing on the back of one.
And I think Genesi if nothing else could make some T-shirt shops happy; they seem to be giving away about three times as many shirts as others in the local 'hood have sold but not delivered ; } |
