Nothing. It just means that the code won't run automatically in Pyramid.

I don't know what you mean by automatic..

The thread local helps to have global variables per thread so that it
preserves the changes made in one thread should not affect another global
variable in another thread..

In Pylons, request & context (may be many other stuffs) are treated as a
global variables, they can be accessed from anywhere just by importing
them..

Ok let me tell you the whole story scientifically.

"The chances of anyone succeeding with an Open Source Project or

Okay, let's assume this to be true. Now we need to determine the  
causality. What are the possible reasons? Here are some:


1. A person in India will fail at trying to create a business around  
open source, but is more likely to succeed at precisely the same  
endeavour, if they move to the Valley. It is the environment that  
counts, not the person.


2. People outside the Valley are incapable of creating/running that  
kind of business, because they don't know how to do it right. Moving  
to the Valley might increase their chances, since they will have  
better access to people who can teach or inspire them.


3. People who are already in the Valley are inherently superior, and  
us little people in India are wasting our time trying to emulate them.


These are three possible hypotheses. What are yours?

Hey, great argument, but I have some riders. Atleast, finally, I think we
are on the same page.

First of all, let us get one thing out of the way. Success in
software/hardware,  no matter where you are, entirely depends on on how
passionate you are about it. We can't quantify a person's passion for some
thing. Apple's success, is Steve Job's passion for whatever he was creating.

Having got that out of the way, let us try to answer some of your questions.

Right! The environment counts a lot. Not the person. If you are based in
India, you are already starting to bat with 3 wickets down viz a viz San
Francisco, (If I can humbly give a cricket anology).

Wrong and Right!. People outside the valley are definitely capable of
creating/running business, but they have a great disadvantage. Their
competitors based in the valley, have a competitive edge/eco system,that the
poor great guys outside the valley can't match.

Ha ha!!! well well!!, I can't answer this question! But let me tell you a
fact I know. Sunder Pichai, and Vic Gondotra are Great Indians who work in
the Valley for Google.

Fair enough.

They weren't really questions. You've outlined a correlation and now I

This is true no matter what sort of technology business you start.  
What is different about business models that are FOSS-driven?

I agree. So what is the solution, other than moving to the Valley?

Forget about your three possible hypothesis . I hope I have answered  
your

questions above!


I think you've misunderstood. I'm still not clear on the following:

1. We've established that tech startups are at a disadvantage when  
based outside SV. Why is this so? Specifically, what is different  
about FOSS-model startups?


2. Given that we are not all moving to California, what are our  
options? I assume you are recommending against a FOSS-model startup.  
What sort of business models do you recommend instead? Why?


3. At least one person on this thread has pointed out that his Indian  
company is making a profit while working on FOSS. I know of a few  
others. Do you not recommend that others attempt to follow their  
example? Why?
