Marketing Ubuntu to the United States Government.

To:\nJohn Sutton\nRoy Wright\nSteve George\nMatt Zimmerman\nMark Shuttleworth\n\nSubject: Ubuntu U.S. Federal Marketing Project\n\nIn the past few months I have discussed with each of you the possibility of establishing a U.S. Federal Marketing force for the purpose of vending Ubuntu to U.S. Government (USG) agencies. I believe that the features of such an organization would be as follows:\n\nAll USG organizations must adhere to the Federal Acquisition Regulations. This requires that USG sites purchase software support licensees. This requirement specifically includes Free and Open Source (FOS) products. A specific agency of the U.S. Government called the General Services Administration (GSA) strictly governs USG purchasing activity. GSA regulations, under certain conditions, give preferential treatment to U.S. Owned Businesses, Small Disadvantaged Businesses (SDB) and Veteran Owned Businesses. The "Buy American" and Small Disadvantaged Veterans Owned Business preferences are where I would like to base a proposal.\n\nI believe, that with the cooperation and exclusive endorsement of the Canonical Corporation, distribution to the U.S. Federal Government, while a rare occurrence now, is ripe for long term profit.\n\nWHAT WE INTEND TO DO:\nEstablish a Small Disadvantaged Veteran Owned Business (SDVOB) with a GSA schedule for purchase of Canonical Support Licensees. We expect to deliver a profit margin of eighty (80) percent of this income stream back to Canonical.\n\nEquip and office with U.S. national and Veterans trained at the Canonical Montreal facility to offer "Buy American Act" compliant support service. \n\nWHAT WE NEED TO PROCEED:\nWe need to establish a marketing agreement with Canonical. This would need to include a time period during which this enterprise would enjoy exclusive U.S. Government marketing rights. I am convinced with this agreement in place, no other resources would be required to make this a profitable project.\n\nWHAT TO EXPECT:\nWhile the idea of the current U.S. Federal Government reconsidering its own addiction to Microsoft Products may seem at this time far fetched, this proposal is based upon the coming of a new administration in 150 days. Being positioned by a sales agent for U.S. Federal sales at this time costs Canonical nothing, and might lead to future profit.\n\nI have established a private wiki at http://www.flint.com/uusg to continue work on this idea. You will find this proposal posted there along with the latest developments as they occur. I look forward to our mutual profit and thank you for your time.\n\nKindest Regards,\n\n\nPaul Flint\n
