Promote our best local assets. Most Vendor UG's don't exist anymore. We should be showing them the path to achieve this. Amazed by the number of people who have confessed Linux usage. Most MIS managers are scared of change and are behind the 8 ball.
People can try something that is free without fear.
We need to look at whole range of business. Organisation of roadshows will help the cause. Advocate reports to company management. Co-Ordinated and structure advocacy without specific vendor cases. We are NOT the anti-microsoft hate club.
