I was thinking of an idea for a presentation and I know it might sound a bit
strange but please hear me out.

I am assuming that most of the people on the list are tech's, meaning that
they probably have more experience working with FLOSS than "selling" it.
What I was thinking was a presentation on the sales/marketing end of FLOSS.
Essentially a features  and benefits sort of thing minimizing the challenges
you face going to Linux and maximizing the positives, without resorting to
MS bashing.  I too often see that (and have been guilty myself) when
introducing technology that people often find it confusing to learn new
technology.  They end up resorting to the "well...which one do YOU think I
should buy?" question and then as the sales person, often selling a myriad
of products, have to find a way to say this is good with out saying this is
bad.

What do others think?  I may even be tempted to try and do the presentation.
Could almost use it as an introduction to Linux for potential clients.

Regards,

Cameron
