Motivation:
When free software meets with the real world we can't always keep the hippie mood, and business models usually stay as usual. But some people before us have come up with ways to hack the business models.
Brief Description:
Michael "Monty" Widenius once published his Hacking Business Model (http://monty-says.blogspot.mx/2009/04/hacking-business-model.html). A set of principels on how to run a hacking business model. We've been trying to follow some of this at Axai and would like to share our experience.
Speaker's Biography:
I really like free software and everything that it implies. Software, community, different business models, sharing economy, hippies, geeks, the hard drupalero life =P. Before getting to know Drupal I was using Symfony and Doctrine, I even was a Doctrine core committer back in those days =). Now I work in a small company in México we started in 2007 and have been working with Drupal since then. We try to not focus just on the business but also share a little with the community that has given us so much. Drupal Summit Latino in Lima (2011) gave me the opportunity to share some of this, and later we helped organize the Drupal Summit Latino in Guadalajara. We help on other Drupal events when we can and try to run a small company on the side =).
