Linux, we have a PR problem (ITnews)Linux, we have a PR problem (ITnews)Posted Feb 13, 2008 16:33 UTC (Wed) by pr1268 (subscriber, #24648)Parent article: Linux, we have a PR problem (ITnews)
I dunno... My perception is that organizations are drawn to Linux and open-source software products based on attraction rather than promotion, and this isn't necessarily a bad thing. Word of mouth is about the best form of advertising there is (and it's low cost, too!). But, I generally agree with the article - most of the noise in software advertising is being made by the proprietary vendors. Although, I do see Red Hat and Novell ads fairly often, usually in IT journals. Once Linux and the FOSS community can convince PHBs that it's okay to use non-proprietary software, then the PR "problem" will be partially solved.
