Description of Brainstorm Idea NOT followed of an
academic operating system for real world application
- I had asked if it would make sense to hypothetically
explore the market worth of a project my husband did with
his Ph.D. students, to see if it had any potential for a
start up environment. I won't be specific about it since
the response was that it would NOT be a good idea to
explore. Without many details, they have designed an
operating system that currently works on the latest Intel
X86 multi-core microprocessors, taking advantage of
virtualization and another design that does not. It can
work on a desk top but also for the embedded market
including safety critical systems.
- The reasons it would not be a good idea to explore the
project my husband did in an academic environment with
his "Ph.D." students in this class are because:
- The girl from the discussion forum said you should
not explore projects that have real world start up
potential in a class setting where you do not know
the people very well.
- She said people may poach the
idea if it is worth pursuing.
- She said someone on the student research team may
think they are entitled to something, a portion of
the profits or a share in the company if it takes
off, either before or after the fact, and it can
lead to a law suit.
- She said while some people in the class are
experienced professionals, some are not, and she did
not recommend conducting research or testing a
business idea that I was serious about with
inexperienced professionals.
- She did say that the class is a GREAT resource for
identifying talent and exploring this business idea
OUTSIDE the class room project I do, or to take what
I learn, so I can research this idea myself
afterward.
- So I did NOT pursue this idea, nor did I pursue
the rest of the ideas that I brainstormed that follow
here, and instead followed Amber Chang's lead to be on
her team.
