The Real Unique Buying Proposition of Open Source Software
,----[ Quote ]
| Most important to Open Source advocates it
| that there are communication and sales
| processes in Open Source Marketing that one
| should take care of. Open Source lead
| generation begins very early (Twitter, Weblog,
| etc.) and does not end once you closed a deal.
| Itâs a continuous process. When a customer
| bought your cost argument, youâd better make
| sure that this customer can also experience
| the freedom of using your product. Open up
| endless opportunities through third-party
| extensions, technical tutorials and so on.
| This is how you retain customers in Open
| Source. It only works if you have built-in
| freedom into your business ecosystem.

Don't 'Sell Open Source' - Sell Brainpower
,----[ Quote ]
| As someone else once put it, open source is
| useful if your primary product is not software
| itself. A company whose main product is
| consultancy or support staffing (IBM) can make
| more direct use of open source as an attractor
| than a company that makes software itself as
| their main offering (Microsoft or Adobe). The
| more I talk with people in and around this
| industry, the more I think there's a case to
| be made for both approaches. The hard part is
| convincing people on both sides that the other
| guy is not always wrong.
