Help to Promote Linux!

Howdy; Last week I posted something similar to comp.os.linux.advocacy but I thought it would also be appropriate here as well. We are trying to get a couple of companies to port their products to Linux. That's why we have created : http://www.datad.com/linux_survey.html It is our hope that we can get a lot of responses so that we can go to these companies with demonstrative demographics. Obviously you use Linux. However, no one in corporate America (Or the rest of the world for that matter), really knows who, where, and why Linux is being used. With these demographics, we can go to large multinational vendors and say see, here's who is willing to look your product over. Without it, we will just be a bastard child standing on the outside looking in, watching Billy Boy take over the world. (Ok so maybe I'm being a little melodramtic.) When my freind and I went to talk with some of the companies, their marketing/sales droids, wanted to know who was using linux and how many of them would want to buy their product. Holding my toungue I thought, none if you continue to have that attitude. Yet, over the months, more and more people have expressed and interest in Linux. The problem is that the demographics are still needed. We feel that there is ample momentum, and that we will have a better chance at success if we can establish our market data as quickly as possible. (Read: We have a window of opportunity which is rapidly closing. If we don't act soon, we would lose our one real chance of success.) We are not marketing types, so please forgive the haphazard appearence of the survey. So please check out the site and fill out the survey. Please also note, we require a valid e-mail address so that we can validate the data. (We hate spam as much as you, if not more.) All the raw data will be held confidential, with only the cumulative data being shown with the vendors we are trying to contact. If you have already filled out the survey, THANK YOU! If you haven't, you should. And Please tell a freind. They say that there is supposed to be 5 million Linux users out there. I only need to hear from a couple of thousand of them over the next few weeks. (Primarily those using Linux in a corporate or business environment.) -TIA! Mikey
