I think the invisibility is a success in itself. Many products are built upon open source
without the PHB knowing about it. The list is endless. What open source needs is to continue
to get better and better. PR is just spin that dont contribute to the product at all. Open
source companies and solutions are seen, not just spoonfed with fancy lunches and
brainwashing.

I think it would be a bad move right now to start cramming open source down peoples throats.
Many it-shops are used to work in a way so very different from the community. This is
something that needs time to mature. Whats the rush? Its not like we are out teaching the
world "the one true teaching" or something but rather to find people who wants the same things
we want.
