[Osmf-talk] I need some help / possible opportunity

[Dennis Vogel]

Okay, this is a little different but I need some ideas and maybe someone can
help me and make some money for themselves.

 

I've been writing software since 1983. I'll be 75 in a few weeks. Two years
ago I finished a project aimed at waste oil and waste vegetable collectors.
But before I could try and sell it I went into the hospital where they made
me even sicker.

 

I need some help presenting this software to the above industries. The
problem is you cannot get anyone to return a call or even talk to you in the
first place. They all think they've seen everything there is to see and
nothing is new.

 

I managed to contact one person at a very large company in Germany named
Avista Oil. But no luck getting to a decision maker or displaying the
software. 

 

Maybe someone knows smaller companies in these industries or would like to
take over this project. It was written in C# and Visual Studio and of course
uses Open Street Maps.

 

Here is a link to a YouTube video that has been edited several times for
Avista Oil and needs some more work.

And here is a generic video that also needs work.

I was going to ask $1.2m US at Avista Oil and be done with it. I estimated
it would save them that amount and much more each year. I'll pay a 20%
commission for one large sale where I give them the source code and walk
away. FYI, Avista Oil has branches all over Europe and perhaps a simple
visit by one of you could end up making a lot of money.

 

Or it could be leased it to many smaller companies around the world and
generate even more money over time but I am no longer well enough to support
the software let alone run a business. And I'm just too old now.

 

Note: Anyone taking this over would need to be very experienced with Open
Street Maps coding.

 

I know this is a shot in the dark but just in case someone may be interested
or have some ideas I'm posting here.

 

Thanks
