Jane Jacobs's "Systems of Survival" clarifies the Foundation's scope and the companies' scope.

Business committee in the Foundation

Maintain a list of organizations or companies that do work with Gnome, or that work on Gnome itself, or that provide Gnome-related services. E.g. companies that develop jukeboxes based on the Gnome stack. Juan Pablo's baccarat game for casinos.

Lionel's idea of a matrix of which companies specialize in what areas of Gnome, or that have certain kinds of Gnome expertise.

Showcase or list of products developed with Gnome technologies. Even if they are proprietary, there is expertise around Gnome in the organizations that produced them.

Orgs/companies in the Advisory Board should have a special place in these lists.

No competition between the committee and the advisory board; the committee just keeps these lists; the adboard does its thing as always.

Put the Gnome deployments in that list.

Keep the list in the Gnome website.

For trade conferences where there is a Gnome booth, keep a nicely printed brochure with the information above, that people in the booth can give to interested attendees. Then the companies that want to be showcased in the brochure can pay the Foundation to actually be there.

Encourage people who are not part of companies to be in the committee.

List of ideas for development or business ideas

Endless Mobile said they could use a "set up an internet cafe with Gnome" thing that would let people log in after paying, log them out after a timeout, etc. The list would mention this so that someone interested could go ahead and develop it.
