Dear jdd.
I don't believe that "market share" should be a priority for the openSUSE project (or, at least, not one of the top priorities).
we need a sufficient marked share to stay alive, and who know what this will mean 5 years ahead?
I don't think that we will need 'market share'. We need to be innovative, we need to be friendly, we need to be reliable and trustful.
From that may come what you call 'market share'.
Exactly!
And I am not talking about Novell or SLE, just openSUSE here. It's not about 'earning money'!
Yet.. (to survive, and to be taken serious, helas money has to be generated, at some point, but imho, this is a specific task, not to be worried about by devs, or contributors, or users, but: one milon users times $ or Euro: 50, makes 50 miljon..., if that would be a year, and it would stay the same, it would still be 250 miljon in 5 years..)
Kind Regards Marcus
