“One of the most compelling sub-plots in the Free Agent World
story is unfolding at iQLinux.com. Throughout the world, small
groups of free agents are helping one another succeed
professionally and survive emotionally. These groups belie another
of the central myths about free agency: that without that office
water cooler, free agents become isolated and lonely. Working solo
is not working alone. iQLinux.com provides you a Linux community on
the Internet.”
“This group – at once hard-headed and soft-hearted – is creating
a new community. One part board of directors, another part group
therapy, this small, self-organized cluster is part of the emerging
free-agent infrastructure. It is helping to form the new foundation
of our economic and social lives.”
“The mission of iQLinux.com is to become the leading Web
destination that connects customers, vendors, and a global supply
of independent Linux consultants. The Web site’s features
emphasize community empowerment, relationship building, virtual
development and support teams, fair business practices, and dispute
mediation by peers. It provides a market place where
open-source products and support services can be negotiated and
acquired.”
