Interview With Shawn Gordon of TheKompany

Posted by Hemos on from the making-cash-money dept.

Gentu writes "OSNews features an interview with Shawn Gordon, president of TheKompany. Shawn talks about version 1.0 of Aethera and Kapital coming out in September, porting a lot of their Qt apps to MacOSX, the future of Linux on the desktop, how the embedded Linux market was surprisingly successful financially for them, as well as selling well their desktop apps. It is really encouraging to read that a desktop-oriented company actually made real money from Linux this year!"

    "If you have not heard of the packages, then you haven't investigated much into those sort of applications..." Absolutely true.

    "...and you probably don't care anyway. So why post?" Absolutely untrue. There are thousands of topics that interest me, that I haven't had time to investigate. Basic communication skills are about supplying the extra three words that bridge that gap.

    "FWIW, Kapital is a personal finance manager. Aethera is PIM/groupware." Bueno-- you got it now.
