Hi Everyone! I'm Carlos and together with my best friend Nikolay and a group of collaborators, are building Shelf - Asset Tagging & Tracking Infrastructure for everyone.

Trying to bring fresh, new approach to a 'boring' software business category, and absolutely loving the process. Happy to be building with Remix and Supabase.

I have been in 'done for you' services in the Tech space (agency) for 10 years, building other peoples products and so on. I am so happy to be finally building the project I have been dreaming on for years. Getting myself to the point where I could clearly outline the business opportunity and growth potential for Shelf took me years of passively analysing other startups. I am so happy I managed to get people on board to join me on building the vision to empower people to tag & track 1 Billion assets by 2033.

Excited to hear the thoughts of other community members, and to perhaps fins some avenues for growth/distribution here with you all.

Greetings from a Bolivian/Dutch COSS entrepreneur!

Hi everyone! I'm Sven, author of the "Three Data Point Thursday", a newsletter AND building things with open source, as well as "Unpacking Business Open Source".

Both have been my places where I share my research on open source with others. Lately I found myself refercing a bunch of COSS community posts more often, so I figured, let's join the pack! Lots of good stuff in here.

If so then I would like to do it 10 times the best

Hello everyone! I'm a freelance community and content consultant from the US living in Spain. I've been leading the Data on Kubernetes Community for the last two and a half years in which we've done over 170 livestreams about the challenges and opportunities of managing data in Kubernetes.

I'm also a CNCF Ambassador, content creator, and love working with creative people, passionate, and motivated.

I play guitar, banjo, bass, drums, and make raps (without the help of ChatGPT) about Cloud Native technologies.

If you'd ever like to have a chat, just let me know. Looking forward to learning and connecting here!

Hi, I am Kent and I have been following the community for the long days. I have a troubleshooting website and I am much more interested to review this website for my site here. Is it possible? Please let me know. I will highly appreciate for your kind response. Thank you,

Excited to be here!

I'm the founder of SamePage - an intra-tool-for-thought protocol that allows users of TFTs to collaborate across tools. Core use case: I open a page in Roam, you open one in Obsidian, and our changes sync across both apps as if it was a live Google Doc. We hope to add as many supported clients as possible.

I'm particularly interested in the COSS community because it aligns with how I want to build the business model for this protocol. All code is open source and charge users based on their network utilization. This community appears to be an awesome collection of founders from whom I could learn a ton from as the project grows. Excited to learn more!

Hi Everyone,

Thank you Joseph (JJ) Jacks for setting this awesome COSS community. I am looking forward to getting to know everyone on this channel.

I'm the former Open Source Director for the WhiteHouse Code.gov Program that enforced the OMB M-16-21 Federal Source Code Policy that required for the U.S. Federal agencies to publish their custom developed software as Open Source Software (OSS).

Also, I co-founded a technology startup in the Consumer Package Food (CPG) industry for 3 years.

Presently I'm looking for technology companies with OSS that I can help grow their business.

Please let me know if I can help.

Thanks,

Ricardo

Hi all,

I'm the co-founder of Qbix. We built an open-source social networking framework that uses the latest browser features like WebRTC to do p2p conferencing, web payments, and cryptowallet integration etc.

Interested in getting feedback on the product and any introductions to a lead investor for our WeFunder crowdfund.

Excited to join this community and be part of this new wave of opensource software!

Hi everyone,

can't believe I found this community only now; it looks amazing and exactly like what I was looking for...

I am the co-founder of COSS ObjectBox (github.com/objectbox) - my Co-founder is the coder (github.com/greenrobot), I am more focused on the business model, licensing, community... (everything really apart from coding 🤣)

We believe in open source, "but" we also want to build a business with ObjectBox.

Looking forward to the exchange with all of you 😊

Vivien.

P.S. At this moment my life revolves around our startup ObjectBox and my daughter (8), but I used to do theatre-plays as a hobby for a long time and I still love reading as much as possible (apart from business & psychology stuff, I love reading fantasy, science fiction like Neil Gaiman, Terry Pratchett etc.).

Hi Everyone 👋

I'm Kursat, Co-founder of Ddosify and Co-creator of Ddosify Load Engine.

At Ddosify our mission is to create generic, no code and the most powerful load testing experience for developers, quality assurance engineers, and even non-technical people.

I'm happy to be here!

Hi all, I'm the founder of jPOS, a payment-related open source project used by most successful acquirers, issuers, merchants, and fintech companies.

Although jPOS was initially a 'Java Point of Sale' (in old Java 1.0 days), we soon started to link it to 'Professional Open Source' (first heard from Marc Fleury of JBoss fame). So that's what we do, Java Professional Open Source, highly aligned with this community.

Hello, COSS~

Hey folks! Excited to be here, I am a deep believer in COSS and supporter of the OSS community, excited to join the conversations here.

Hi everyone!

I'm the creator of local open-source community called Javanile based on Sicily

I'm happy to stay here
Thanks for the hard work on build this awesome community
