Lessons from Leaders: How JBoss did it

,----[ Quote ]
| JBoss was an Open Source company providing 
| free middleware software to itâs customers. By 
| the end of 2003, JBoss had been downloaded 5 
| million times, and the company was doing about 
| $1m a year in revenues, selling training, 
| documentation and consulting. Around that 
| time, Bob Bickel joined the company, and 
| initiated a process to raise venture capital. 
| The raising of VC funds was a trigger that was 
| needed to hire a professional management team, 
| and to enter a new growth phase. Together with 
| Bob, the company had figured out that once an 
| application migrated from development to 
| production, they could charge their customers 
| for a subscription based initially around 
| support, that should result in a better 
| monetization than the other revenue streams.

| When youâre a big-time Java application engine vendor like the community side
| of Red Hatâs JBoss, JBoss.org, picking out a CMS (content management system)
