Fully open source? Interesting.
Considering their bread and butter last I knew was source control, wonder if they plan to make money off support contracts, tools on top of it, or something else.
- j_baker 16y agoFrom the FAQ: "Open Source? How are you guys gonna make money? Geez, do we really have to explain that HERE? At the O’Reilly OPEN SOURCE Convention? The core of Veracity will be open source, but we plan to sell other products and services on top of that core." http://sourcegear.com/veracity/literature/Veracity_FAQ.pdf http://sourcegear.com/veracity/literature/Veracity_FAQ.pdf
- torial 16y agoThe best part of the FAQ was: A tarball and a mailing list? Really? Aren’t you going to have some kind Web 2.0 "Veracity Overfow" thingie? Veracity’s web presence will have more of the modern menities later. The Veracity server needs more testing before we set up a public instance of the repo.
- runevault 16y agoThanks I missed the link to the FAQ somehow.
- dugmartin 16y agoTools, training and support. Distributed version control is making its inroads into large IT shops. It makes sense to get out in front of that and create a product where you have the market position to allay CIO's fears of an unsupported OS product like git or mercurial. "Sure, you can pay company X to support git but go with us and Veracity - we wrote the code."
