I don't care about MS dominating the marketplace! I am happy that I
don't have to use it, so I also try to contribute a little to open source.

If you like open source and cannot contribute code or such, than maybe
contributing marketing is fine. I wouldn't mind. But please don't tell
me how to shape my leisure time activities.

I just do exactly the right amount of marketing which consists of
writing news items and maintaining application catalogue entries. And
the reason, why this is "exactly right", is that I am the only one to
judge as I don't get paid or am otherwise obliged to justify to anybody
else. And that's what I don't like: You behave like a marketing boss to me.

If you feel some project (or Linux or open source as a whole) deserves
more attention, go ahead, do the research and write some blog posts.

Regards,

Tilman
