| Takyoji | Just out of curiosity; what approach would be best to promoting open source technologies to small businesses? Such as what programs should be more emphasized for promotion? | 21:39 |
|---|---|---|
| guillom | you should emphasize the kind of software that these companies use | 21:41 |
| guillom | if you talk to them about how good Inkscape is but their business is about finance, they won't care | 21:42 |
| guillom | that said, you may also use generic arguments such as "freely reusable code, open formats, independence" etc. | 21:43 |
| Takyoji | I'm thinking more in the aspect of retail or contracting | 21:44 |
| Takyoji | contracting in terms of construction | 21:44 |
| Takyoji | What would be the argument (and I don't mean in a derogatory manner) against using Microsoft Office in comparison to OpenOffice? | 21:46 |
| Takyoji | Generally speaking: what would be some reasons for small businesses to use OpenOffice instead | 21:47 |
| guillom | you'll find plenty of arguments about that on the Web | 21:47 |

| guillom | and I'm off now | 21:48 |
