Hi all.
Thanks Larry and all for raising the marketing issue. I agree we have
an issue here; I do not agree it is a devastating one. Our stats are
all positive, our market penetration is thrilling, etc.
The root of it is the fact that QGIS is developer-driven, with
determinant input from customers, who "vote" paying for their needed
feature. This explains the quality of code, the dev-friendly
environment, and also the limited attention to marketing. As PSC
marketing advisor, I tried to raise interest on these and other points
in the past, without success. I think times are ripe to examine the
question once more. Especially the website needs to be redone; we have
done some work in Valmiera, but there is still something to do (as
usual, volunteers needed).
All the best.
