Hi list-members, I'm a Zope apprentice and have been closely following the user group for 2 weeks now. The reason for my engagement in Zope is that I'm seeking for a business concept - I have the task of developing a so called business-plan in a university course. Why not take this serious - I thought. So I'm in the process of developing a plan that I might really execute. Convinced of the open-source idea as I am and being rather knowledgeable in Web-application development I thought I would finally try Zope. So - after more days of making the "acquaintance" than I had planned, I've now edited a first rough description of how I think that one can make himself self-employed (and employ other people hopefully) leveraging Zope. I invite anyone interested to look at my writings on http://www.zope.org/Members/vallen2/ . I hope to inspire as many people as possible. Perhaps those of us today doing Zope for our employers, who don't even realize what cost savings we provide to them, can one day be business-partners :-). Comments appreciated! Have fun, Andreas
