Well,

I do not have an answer right now, I guess articles in general
magazines, not exactly the Linux Community,
but ICT in general.

What strikes me most, is that there are a lot of people, you, me,
probably everyone reading this, are working on a lot of projects,
creating excellent software, making the Linux better and better.

But does it get exposure? Is the public aware of what happens with
Linux, does "they" know Linux or at least heard of?
No! That's a pity.
Everybody knows the iPad, why not Linux?

Linux needs better marketing!!
