Dear All,
Would really appreciate if you share your views/opinion on a story we are planning to come up with in our forthcoming edition. ''What steps/measures should be taken by the open source community to attract new talent in the FOSS world?'
We believe that your insights in the open source terrain will be enlightening to our readers and for anyone who wishes to take a plunge in the FOSS world.
Regards,
Priyanka

0. Excite them with something like "Best on and outside the earth" 1. Intoxicate them with user friendly transitions 2. Addict them with the power even with GUI 3. Convince them with what responsibility that power brings in 4. Let them experiment with _their_ time savings. 5. Coach them economy of "Time=Money" 6. Elucidate the TCO and Hence the ROI factors. 7. Corrupt them with ultimate commandline power.
It has always worked.
Never Confuse them.
Even PHBs can be attracted.
