[ANN][RLC] iEx.ec blockchain-based distributed cloud announces its Crowdsale

Feedback from Gilles Fedak @ Slack:
"Just to clarify things about the state of the project: where we are and where we are going. As you have seen, the team has evolved between the pre-ICO and post-ICO period. After the ICO, our first priority was to make sure we have a good core devel team to release our first version for Devcon3. And I think that we have an excellent one, with very skilled and experienced coders and devops. Since the ICO, we open-sourced most of our developments and we periodically release incremental versions. During the next months, we'll focus on providing developers all the tools, documentation, tutorials, examples they need to port their applications to Ethereum/iExec. Our focus is also on improving our own infrastructures so that developers can rely on a stable, reliable, secure infrastructure to run their distributed applications. So, from the devel point of view we're ready for v1. Concerning the marketing, we're now interviewing people and building the team. At the moment, marketing is basically community management, participation to conferences, content writing and distribution with a focus on the crypto world, discussions with investors and exchange places. From September to 4-6 months after Devcon3, the marketing will focus on evangelizing our solution for off-chain computation. We'll also target developers/companies outside of the crypto world but which are looking at the blockchain tech. At the moment we have many contacts with several companies (some of them are big players). It doesn't translate yet in partnerships, but things will evolve a lot after we release v1. An important point is that we are now starting to build the team to develop v2. v2 is more challenging from a technical point of view. It requires more research and more innovative/agressive solutions. We're also establishing partnerships with the best academic teams in France and China. That's important to prepare now what is going to be released in 18/24 months from now. Most probably we'll have PhD students working on reseach topics strongly related to iexec. I know that it sounds like an eternity but we are now shaping the team, the partnerships and the strategies for the next four/five years. From the marketing point of view, after v2 is released, we'll have the ability to expend greatly our market. In particular we'll have sales people doing B2B business. So as a company, we'll start to have sources of revenue. This is very important for us to keep this objective as we want to provide products that allow to make real business and not just open source software. So in summary, we're making sure that very short term objectives, but also medium and "long" term objectives can be reached successfuly. Of course, we would also like to have good news every day :wink: C'est la vie ! But some very nice announcements are coming very soon."
