Hello all,<div> thanks Jos for the introduction. What I was discussing with Jos was that about 12 months ago I was investigating the possibility of a cross-distro app store for the commercial side of Linux apps. Some of the things that came up was the payment and licensing handling and in-app payment work. Unfortunately the lack of resources at the time prevented me from promoting this idea further.</div>
<div><br></div><div>When discussing the common app installer with Jos I mentioned that the commercial applications (and other digital deliverables) had unfortunately not been well promoted, especially in the gaming and commercial development tools; let alone a micro-payment donation system etc.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I have been working in payment systems (for all different payment types), micro-payment, affiliate and mass payout systems for the last 4 years. I have been involved at all levels including bank gateways, fraud controls and working with PCI compliance .</div>
<div><br></div><div>I am still reviewing some of the information that Jos has gave me and I am looking forward to seeing project going. </div><div>Looking forward to hearing more and joining the list.</div><div><br></div>
