To take it to the next step, it may take the involvement of profit making
businesses. Profit seems to be the incentive in this society to make things
solid enough for to offer a real (read: stable and useful) product.
If we want to see Linux reach a wider audience, the enthusiasts will need to
take roles in those commercial projects as developers, consultants and
advisors, for without them the commercial projects won't get off the ground.
So please encourage them to accept these roles in commercializing their
programs.

It's a
choice between being amatuer enthusiasts or professionals.
Yes, and I think I like being an enthusiast. The amatuer v's professional
thing is a bit of a moot point in my case.
