# Aug 8th 2008, 21:45 Telik oh dude, i'd love a cake plugin for Aptana...or Eclipse
# Aug 8th 2008, 21:44 Telik take Invisionpower for example: they used to have a free forum software, but now they charge like $300 per license and have some bigname clients
# Aug 8th 2008, 21:44 mboldisc Or you could sell a development tool (Eclipse PDT re-branded)
# Aug 8th 2008, 21:44 markstory $weetne$$

# Aug 8th 2008, 21:43 markstory gwoo: way too much
# Aug 8th 2008, 21:43 mboldisc hmm
# Aug 8th 2008, 21:43 Telik $700+ per developer
# Aug 8th 2008, 21:43 gwoo how much?
# Aug 8th 2008, 21:43 Telik mboldisc is right. companies are willing to pay loads of cash for proven technologies
# Aug 8th 2008, 21:43 mboldisc Do it man. Some companies are just scared to use free stuff. They would rather just pay for it.
# Aug 8th 2008, 21:42 Telik those are kinda like support tickets lol
# Aug 8th 2008, 21:42 gwoo me too
# Aug 8th 2008, 21:42 Telik nice...except i love the irc stuff
# Aug 8th 2008, 21:42 gwoo i been thinking about that a lot recently
# Aug 8th 2008, 21:42 mboldisc With purchase they get 2 free support tickets.
# Aug 8th 2008, 21:42 Telik it's free, but...the support isn't
# Aug 8th 2008, 21:41 mboldisc Adopt the Redhat business model.
# Aug 8th 2008, 21:41 gwoo true
# Aug 8th 2008, 21:41 mboldisc How else do developers justify giving away money?
# Aug 8th 2008, 21:41 Telik gwoo: I'm looking into starting a company that would probably eat a lot of cake...i would so donate to the project
# Aug 8th 2008, 21:41 gwoo but i like living in my car
# Aug 8th 2008, 21:41 mboldisc At least open the door to bring in money.
# Aug 8th 2008, 21:40 mboldisc Maybe you should create a different version of Cake that you sell.
# Aug 8th 2008, 21:40 gwoo Telik: get a cake job
# Aug 8th 2008, 21:40 Telik you can also have my day job if you want. writing VB .NET code for an architectural firm. i hate it
# Aug 8th 2008, 21:40 gwoo seriously
# Aug 8th 2008, 21:39 mboldisc It's too bad that companies that use Cakephp probably don't donate.
# Aug 8th 2008, 21:39 Telik haha, any time
# Aug 8th 2008, 21:39 gwoo thanks
# Aug 8th 2008, 21:39 markstory isn't step 3 ??? and step 4 profit?
# Aug 8th 2008, 21:39 gwoo Telik: nice
# Aug 8th 2008, 21:38 gwoo it seemed like step 1 and 2 were really close together
# Aug 8th 2008, 21:38 markstory mboldisc: my wife would kill me if I still lived with my mom
# Aug 8th 2008, 21:38 Telik gwoo: i'll put in a good word before you stop through Raleigh in Sept. maybe they'll let you stay in one of our nice hotels
# Aug 8th 2008, 21:38 mboldisc haha
# Aug 8th 2008, 21:38 gwoo step 2 ... live in your car
# Aug 8th 2008, 21:38 mboldisc Step 3: profit
