Why is there no one in the team who concentrates on business development, partnerships, marketing etc. beacuse there are 15 members in team and all are engineers This seems to be a serious weakness of the project.
There are more than 50 team members. Partnerships and business discussions are being made, but are not being paraded unlike with other projects, which don't even have a product yet. Why do you think SONM were title sponsors at Consensus? To be in a good position to advertise themselves to other companies and potential corporate fog computing clients.
At the time there was no place to see it online, but this presentation at the SONM stand was being done several times a day in front of large crowds, not to mention several presentations made by lead SONM devs on the central stages of Consensus.
