Linux audio needs marketing, it needs to get some editorial space (which is basically free advertising) that says the platform and tools are where people should maybe consider being. Now the Harrison boys might have some reason to do that but I doubt it, ie, they have a marketing budget but I don't think that will be for promoting the Linux product line. It might be possible to poll/harass/promote linux audio with some of the audio magazines and see if anybody wants to pick up the story and run with it. I only rarely read these and their current focus may be away from free platforms and into apps at the moment. After that, if their attention can be grabbed, somebody has to decide what to present. That will be difficult. Corporate marketing messages are all about focusing on the current developments, the differentiators and the message that the company wants to take to the market. The rather anarchic Linux Audio community might not have a single coherent message that they want to be brought across: what does Linux Audio have to offer? Read that statement carefully, it is not intended as a challenge as I think linux audio has a lot to offer however that has to be packaged into a 'nugget', a single message that goes out to the market.
