Hi, Orchard CMS could for sure use a bit more awareness. In your mail I didn't quite get the meaning of why things like the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation and Ghandi were pushed in and how they relate to Orchard CMS. If you could explain so please do.
Marketing is about AIDA (Attention, Interest, Desire, Action), how you're going to make people aware of the existence of your product, make them interested in it and ultimately going to use/purchase it. Orchard Harvest, and the uploaded videos on youtube, were a good form of such awareness creation. As a shameless plug I might state that I also did so by giving a Microsoft (Belgium) live meeting last year about it and a couple of weeks ago I had a presentation about Orchard in Milan, Italy. The feedback I heard there from the local community is that Orchard is interesting but that it lacks a great deal of interesting modules/plugins/themes. WordPress already does have a rich ecosystem. Also it's hard to make new modules compared with for example Umbraco (never used that myself but I heard it from one of my attendees who has made quite a lot of implementations with it for his company).
