The FLOSS world's lack of competence, or even appetite, for publicity
or marketing is the elephant in the room.

1) FLOSS, GNU/Linux etc, 'marketing' is pretty well non existent
compared to non free products. 'I advertise, therefore I exist'
(apologies to Descartes).

2) Of all things, marketing is -very- unsuited to the free libre,
distributed model.
