That's easy. Let's see. Ask each of the fortune 1000 companies to contribute one employee to a non-profit consortium to build and maintain a linux-for-buisness distribution. Bang! An 1000 developer organization. The distribution must be all free, perhaps Debian-based, which would be enhanced by an ever-growing number of specialized applications only an enterprise could love. Let the knowledge and requirements of enterprises drive the development; let them eat there own dog food. They'll save billions. Oh, you want a name, too? How about "BusiLinux"(tm)---I'll be happy to donate the name to the above described organization.
