Cesar Brod’s Summary
I have been fortunately living exclusively on free and open source software consulting services since 1997. I am a free and open source software user since 1993 (actualy, since 1984, but I didn'd know at the time). My major goal is to expand my services and help corporates adopt more and more free software. Also, I am involved in creating business models that will allow more people to live exclusively from their work with free and open source software.
