Wyandotte is actually "downriver" from Detroit, just off I-75 - down
the Detroit river. "Downriver" is a common description Detroiters use
to describe the hinterlands to the south of Detroit.
I drove past Wyandotte yesterday going from Plymouth, MI to Dearborn, MI

As a relative LinuxCNC newbie, I can say that a more clear presentation of
the capabilities of the system would have made it less daunting to choose
LinuxCNC. As a hobby CNC user, I had been exposed to probably 20
half-baked open source CAM tools/packages and been impressed with a total
of zero.

What I meant is the top priority of the customer - if cost is the
one and only criterion or maybe some other things are considered
equally or even more important...
LinuxCNC is best fit not

Yes, exactly!
Unfortunately my clients tend to ask, what kind of solution they are
paying for and what am I going to implement and then it would be nice
to show them a page,
clap, clap, clap . . . . . .
I second the motion.
If and when I have some free time I might knock up a quick flyer based on
these notions.
Obviously for others to add on to.
We will need some real clean shiny pictures though. Close-ups work very
well.
Are there volunteers?

I worked for a company where we did 'market open software'.
We sold Asterisk based VOIP telephone PBX systems.

integrated, configured for the customers.

'Selling free software' is hard.
What a vendor 'sells' isn't open or free software. It is services. It
is hardware. It is integration. It is training. It is support.
Basically, it is time.
It is NOT software. It can be 'glue' software they write, or 'customization'.

Gentlemen,
Just how do you 'market' a free item/product? The free LinuxCNC software
is not even a loss leader. The whole thing is free - all the time - even
the advice - even the help.
Just asking.
