Cory, To whom do you see us marketing? and what specifically should we be marketing? Do we restrict ourselves solely to making converts at the individual user level or do we also work on making institutional converts, like, eg, the British Education Ministry? The level of organization and the relationship with Canonical would, more than likely, be different for each of those scenarios. According to the team's page, our mission is to fix Bug#1 - Microsoft, but how do we want to take on MS? Only at the level of individual users or that plus something more? > -- Peace!
