We want to find someone who will work for stock options and the love of the BSD but we are open to joint ventures, contract employment, etc. The desired appliance and integrated application software will be virtualized, use XFS and ZFS, with the majority of OS burnt onto silicon. We dub this appliance: XN1. We need 3 varieties of this software: 1. a reference boot disk with everything on it, but just for a known limited set of device drivers and one CPU. Our choice for the CPU is the new AMD chipset. 2. a SAAS version, which may be accessed in its entirety by our own special client super-browser. 3. a generaL reference boot disk for legacy computers and both AMD and Intel CPU's. Vision. To create a low cost computer appliance focused, oriented, and optimized for the special needs and imperatives of small to medium enterprises (SME) worldwide. This appliance would be the Rosetta Stone of computing, in that the users within a SME would not need to learn technical information, would not need to worry about security issues, and could interact within a meta virtual community of fellow business enterprises. Branding. In order to differentiate this appliance in the marketplace, we intend to rename all of the components with our own trademarks. We believe that to do this is essential in order to survive as a profitable enterprise. All of our trademarked components will give homage to their origins. Ownership. We believe, in a fundamental way, that the SME who purchases our appliance OWNs it! They may use it or dispose of it as they see fit. In the spirit of this belief, we provide owner modifiable splash screens. In other words, when a system is booted, a splash screen with the OWNERS name and message will appear! We invite interested parties worldwide to respond to this request with their CV/resumes and an expression of what it is that would excite them to participate.
