Assist a master's thesis on free software businesses?

[Ben Tilly]

A friend of mine is doing a master's thesis on free software
businesses and is looking for people to interview.  I've known her
from the Perl community for close to a decade.  Even though this list
is somewhat dead, I know there are a lot of people signed up here who
could provide her with useful material.  If you're interested, you can
sign up at http://ann.barcomb.org/.

Cheers,
Ben

Hi,

If French data is any use, she may try to contact Jean-Paul Smets
<jp@...>.  He has a thriving business, strictly free software,
with open cloud computing too, based on free software developed
internationally by his company Nexedi. http://www.nexedi.com/

Most of the site is still in French, but he speaks fluent English or
Japanese.

There are many other free software business in France, including some
corporate consortia.
