I think most of the people at canonical are working an subjects
surrounding  the work on packages (this is what Marc Shuttleworth said
IIRC in some interview).

e.g.:
bazar
launchpad

These are tasks to make interoperation and all tasks sourounding easier.
And don´t forget if they are successful they will now have customers to
take care about.


When i first read the mail from OP i thought, when it´s all about money,
well a lot of people spending their time and also money for free.
Just have a look at Debian.
There are maybe hundreds or even thousands of people spending their time
for free.
What about Linu[xs]?
When he startet there was just a Student with an enthusiastic heart.

When the problem from OP is (and i still haven´t received an answer yet)
that they need money for running the server, what about pay-pal?
Asking Users to support this project?

As i allready stated, I do not know what it is all about, so can´t help.

bye Thilo
