Tim and John Franklin,

       Guys, thanks for taking the time and effort to organize the meetings of OSS for biz. I greatly appreciate it.

       Having said that, I would like to offer a few suggestions for change in OSS4Biz. First, this location is OK, but not necessarily ideal. OTOH, this point is a cavil as compared to my second point. See my other comment below.

       Guys, as I have stated before, some of the best opportunities for OSS experts, at least as far as money-making ventures is concerned, is almost certainly in using OSS to provide SaaS. I have stated this opinion before and feel compelled to repeat because it is important and, by now, ought to be obvious to all.

       I strongly believe that you would draw a larger crowd if, at each meeting, there were at least some discussion of SaaS. It would be impossible to understate the importance of SaaS to OSS4Biz.

Sincerely,
Paul Bain
