As an aside, PaySwarm is currency agnostic. The commercial implementation of it (Meritora) deals with USD today, has plans for Euro (and a few other national currencies) within a year, and Bitcoin shortly after that. > I don't know how I feel about this, fundamentally, yet.

However, knowing that you can go somewhere to hire Debian developers to fix issues that you're having with the system would be very helpful for companies (like ours and the ones we sub-contract from) that build products on top of Debian. There is already a fantastic amount of money that is involved in the development of Debian, it's just hidden. -- manu -- Manu Sporny (skype: msporny, twitter: manusporny, G+: +Manu Sporny) Founder/CEO - Digital Bazaar, Inc. blog: Meritora - Web payments commercial launch http://blog.meritora.com/launch/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-project-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
