@stefanoStefano Marinelli I respectfully disagree with you. Marketing is the process of introducing the product to the consumer and it's not limited to just for-profit businesses. Community OSes could benefit greatly from better outreach. Big budgets aren't required. I'm not denying the importance of elegant technical solutions and features but marketing does not contradict that. Four low-cost strategies:

1. Better storytelling and branding
2. Social media
3. Community advocacy
4. Better new user onboarding
