[Linux-aus] Spam :: Linux Device

[ac]

Thank you for taking the time to help me Rob & Chris, here is what I
should have posted:

Hello, my name is Andre

I have developed new Linux based spam technology and I am interested in
bringing it to Australia.

The reason I am posting to this mailing list is that the technology is
built on Linux and I am keen on finding an Australian Linux partner to
work with on this project.

I am also offering that the list could use this Linux technology, at no
cost, and as it functions external (no software to install) to servers
and is controlled by the server(s) administrator, the risks to critical
infrastructure is mitigated as it could be switched on/off
instantaneously.

If the risk is still considered to be too high, as I have no track
record or credibility and you risk investing/wasting your time, we
could revisit this proposal if, or after, I find someone to work with.

I do not yet have an AU brand name or any other information as this is
not a proposal or sales pitch for my technology, but simply a request
for any interested party to contact me off list so that we can discuss
the technology and I could demonstrate the workings thereof to such
interested party(ies)  

Should I not find an Australian party, no worries, I will start the
venture in a different country and then bring it to Australia at a
later time.

Thank you for taking the time to read my request and have a nice day

Andre
