*** Since I watched the presentation of Uwe Luebermann at EHSM 2012 [1],
I thought about GNU/business. There's a GNUbiz.net but it seems stale.
That kind of ideas could be discussed to create a site for consumers and
for entrepreneurs.

The ideas you mention, Patrick, could develop as a set of guides to
consumer electronics defense, buying cooperatives, and a network of
consumer defense organisms on electronic devices and free software.

For entrepreneurs, we can collect business models from the field, and
promote integral, cooperative business models like that of Premium Cola.
A vertical integration of the supply chain in the negotiation of price,
controlled growth, and decentralization of operations to rely less on
transports.
