Re: [LUG] Advertising (or lack of)

 

Need generic adverts.

I think we are at the stage of increasingt he size of market for Linux 
and FLOSS, rather than arguing over the proportion of it each firm gets.

One of the classic arguments is that it is easier and more profitable to 
get twice as much business by doubling the size of the (Linux/FLOSS) 
market and keeping the same proportion of it, than by seizing some of it 
from someone else.

THis assumes of course that there is a Linux/FLOSS market as distinct 
from being straight up against MS etc  for an IT market.  I suspect 
there is, but not all of it may know that it actually is a market that 
wants that.
