Hi Jorge, and Ubuntu friends,

I would love to see bundles that are abstracted to the "use-case" level,
and friendly to people that are not immersed in tech.

Some examples:

     1. "*Small Business Bundle*" - a set of basic services that every
        small business would need (but struggles with),
     2. "*Personal Services Bundle*"  - kinda like Freedombox (and
        expanding on Robie's idea), basic stuff like email, shared
        storage, calendaring, etc.
     3. "*Reputation (sentiment) Monitoring Bundle*" - what's being said
        about my company, or me?
     4. "*Personal Data Rescue Bundle*" - grabs anything that's
        exportable from my social media accounts and places into a
        database that I control
     5. "*Vendor Relations Management*" - the opposite of CRM, allowing
        me to share very specific data with companies/agencies/people I
        may want to do business with.
     6. "*Find Me A Cloud*" - surveys available clouds based on some
        parameters I set and tells me which would be the best one for my
        use-case, inverting the usual "I have to find a cloud before
        deploying a bundle" model.

Thanks for kicking off the discussion!

Cheers,
Randall.
