Have I ever been?\n\nIn the past: I ran a sofware security practice. I provided services, but all the companies I helped produced software (and sometimes hardware).\n\nNow: I contribute to many open source projects. I write scripts to make self-hosting easier and repeatable. I make open source hardware, but I don't play salesman, so most people don't know about it. I don't think that really counts without the sales pipeline. It's not making people's lives better if it mostly just sits on the shelf.\n\nI feel like I need to partner with a salesperson who can tell people about the cool shit. Not people who don't care about open source tech, but self-hosters who want their life to be easier and/or more secure. Then we cold both go from non-producer to producer."}
