[ubuntu-us-ma] Ubuntu Geek Squad

[Danny Piccirillo]

Hey everyone!
A while back i brought up the idea in the irc channel about starting an Geek
Squad alternative that would cater exclusively to Ubuntu. I said i would
write up a business plan but i wanted to discuss it with the entire team
first.

Why a business? Community is great, but can only go so far. A business can
really be more focused and provide a more professional image to Ubuntu
rather than the OS for enthusiasts. It wouldn't take away form the
community-- if anything, it would grow it.

Scope:

   - Ubuntu support (bi-yearly to perform upgrades?)
   - Ubuntu conversions
   - Build Ubuntu machines
   - Re-sell System76 machines
   - Computer advice

Who is interested? What do we need to get this started? What kind of
business plan do we need to have? Are we looking for investors?

Oh, and we need an awesome name =]
