   Business idea. Create a "company" that:

   * does #freesoftware only, both consulting on existing software and developing new products
   * primarily focuses on local governments, non-profits and the like
   * has no office
   * has no hierarchy and no bosses
   * has no managers
   * employs free software developers from the whole world
   * maximize developer happiness
   * minimize meetings and bureaucracy

   The reason I quoted company is that it doesn't even have to be a legal entity. Call it community if you like.

     @ralph @alcinnz you could make it a co-operative. Then it's a legal entity which can do commercial stuff without being controlled by shareholders

     And I think Igalia is doing just this: https://www.igalia.com/nc/about-us/
