The emphasis of promotion has a lot to do with the decisions individuals
make in the choices. More importantanyly, the mind share people retain through
promotion is paramount to, not only the business decisions they make, but also
the political outcomes which we can expect.
The art of both politics and business is the maintenmence of the highest level
of mindshare. This is why it was such a big mistake to include MS in the
egov-os program.
Forgetting the past for the moment, of greater concern is the coming commitments
of the "Linux World Expo". Last year, between the promotions of SCO and
Microsoft, the show was ineffective at strengthening the goods and services
available from Free Software developers, workers and businesses. This is
especially true of the smaller businesses and individuals which are the
life blood of the Free Software movement.
Since this is the largest stage for Free Software in the largest and most
powerful city in North America, now might be a good time to work together on
preventing a repeat of last years problems.
