2011/8/1 Aurélien Leblond :
Proclaiming open software as "free" was not the best idea IMO,

and the "Just for fun" slogan didn't help much either.
I mean: does that sound to you like a product you would

want to use as a "serious" musician ?
Promulgate it. Sure.

The difficulty: Open source is a whole different concept, thus

you have to explain it. Thus it's difficult, complicated.

People initially try to apply known concepts

( see an advertisement, go to a store, find the beauty package, buy

it, call customer support ... )

to open software and usually fail.

( most are taught to use closed applications, but who's teaching you

open software (including the philosophy behind) ?? )

Open software requires the user to be/become active.
Thus, sometimes somehow you are paying the open software with time,

spend efforts, work, investment ...

You are asking for opinion ?

Yes. Artists all over the ... do it. :)

There are hundreds. The best is the possible one.
What is appealing to the "artists" you are talking about ?

Money ?

Fun ?

Doing any particular music ?
Why would they want to use Linux for that ??
Why would you like to persuade them to use Linux ??
