Commercial Linux software

[Andrew]

Hello all,
  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.

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.

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 .

I am still reviewing some of the information that Jos has gave me and I am
looking forward to seeing project going.
Looking forward to hearing more and joining the list.

Regards
Andrew Mee
