So would it help to provide them with articles?
Having lurked a while, i'd think generating more content would
be very useful. Plus it would add to the general amount of information
available.

Some of us have really been trying for a while
now. I think they would
have to do something if they were overwhelmed with success stories from
our community. But that requires people to pull finger and actually
write to the publications and inform them. A campaign along these lines
could be extremely effective at gathering publicity.
Or anoyning people in the industry. My experince of music proffesions in
the UK is that they are largly interested in what we have to offer, but I
think they will rapidly loose interest if we keep pestering them.
I'm sure that I can get column inches in the music press convering linux,
but I can do that *once*. If it turns out to be interesting to people out
there I'm sure it will continue. SOS for example run PC and Apple Notes
sections, a Linux Notes section would be a great platorm for our work, but
badgering the edtiors for one just isn't going to help.
