Hi Lorn,

please stop that. I'm happiliy subscribed to marketplace AT  
trolltech.com, the
various Qt preview and feedback lists and I enjoy reading them. I  
even give
first level Qtopia support to our indian friends (as you should have  
witnessed).
So please stop "have a problem with Trolltech in general" garbage.  
Thanks!


Companies like Trolltech have little todo with OpenEmbedded, for the  
greenphone
a set of handcrafted buildscripts are used to assemble the rootfs. If  
such companies
start posting job offers here, this technical list will soonish be  
overrun by all
kind of off topic things. This rang alarm bells not more not less.

See I ask for comments if we should follow Trolltech's model and  
create a
marketplace like list where such things are totally On-Topic and were  
we foster
such business activities.

I ask for comments if we want one, I do want one, If an ettiquete is  
not enough
we will have to explore ways in guarding against unethical companies.

No offense taken, I want to protect this technical list. So a  
marketplaceATlinuxtogo.org
would have made sense for this? Should we create one?
