Well, this assumes a few things...
1. Landing a "Best Of" track doesn't mean the author wants to have his
work shared in source form.
2. "Best Of" tracks often use plugins which don't ship with LMMS (and we
have no sample or plugin bundling support).
But what you are describing isn't something new... The team that ran "Best
Of Linux" is starting a new competition soon and we'll have our second
album and with that more content to showcase our software.
maybe we could investigate how we could make the lmms ecosystem flourish in

I agree we need a good ecosystem, but I also think we need to fix the
software too (which coders like you are helping so tremendously with)....
Good music producers will use our software when our software is good for
music production. If people want to know the best producers, that album is
a good way to start. Our soundcloud feed
<https://lmms.io/community/#soundcloud> is a good place too. Simply find
one of the "Best Of" artists on SoundCloud and start listening to their
followers and likes.
So in principal I agree, but I also think what you are describing is a
natural progression... And also important to identify is that we need
someone to run with this stuff. The "Best Of" album is a lot of work and
the team that does that are also active on our Bug Tracker, Facebook, G+,
SoundCloud, lmms-devel mailing list. We need some dedicated long-term
people that are interested in promoting the software (and not necessarily
themselves).
Also I'd like to add that if you look back a year, we've come a long way
already in terms of public image and musician resources, not to mention the
hundreds of bugs we've fixed and improved quality control we've put over
the coding and releasing process. :)
