280North looks awesome: hacking on some cool stuff, enjoying life. If you don't mind me asking, how do you survive?
Most YC startups are desperately pimping their little web sites on every techcrunch they can find, consuming every open sourced library there is, without contributing much back, while you're sailing along like open source gods, immortal, living off the sunlight.
I know about 280Slides, but it seems you're mostly about Atlas and Cappuccino, so which one is your monetizable product? Or did I nail it with immortality? :)
- sarvesh 17y agoAtlas, as far as I know, won't be open source. So Atlas would be their monetizable product. 280Slides could be monetized in the future which is also not an open source project.
- boucher 17y agoWe're not immortal, but I'm glad you think so. We strongly believe in open source software, and we want to be a part of it. Cappuccino is our way of doing that. Plus, with something this cool, we just couldn't keep it to ourselves :) But, for the record, Atlas will be a commercial product. We are not yet ready to release details though.
