You do realise that many of the tools being produced
by the Linux Audio
Community are being used in the advertising industry which makes us all
complicit in supporting it to start with.
Could you give examples please, my poor english can' follow here :-(
IMO we cannot avoid that fact that advertising and
marketing is a very
crucial component to global industry which enables the corporate world to
continue to function.
I think you got the point here....
We should seek to manage our own channel and
therefore the message and brand
So Linux is a brand more than a Community now ????
rather than avoid it all together out of
some ridiculous fear of becoming Evil. We may even make enough money in
the process to pay some of our community members and help them to be
productive and motivated.
Money can be made with "products", software must be free, remember
???
If we continue to avoid the whole issue that is
exactly what the "Evil"
marketing companies and corporations would like for us to do so that they
can have complete control over the message, brand, content and income
stream...
They, NOW, can have complete control over their brands, not much if you
really look !
Nothing against you here, means we are discussing in a philosophical
way, aren't we ?
