Good for you! Break a leg! I dont have cable so maybe you can put it up on
the net somewhere.
here's a few points which should be emphasized when selling the FOSS
message:
1) Dont get seducted into bashing
Linux and Open Source people tend to be zealots - and bash MSFT with no
apparent reason
besides hating Bill Gates and XP SP2 for writing buggy software.
2) Give economic reasons not ideological reasons:
We choose Linux and Open Source because its a good fit for us.
In addition to the economic benefit of not having to pay for licenses you
can rely on the open source
community for support - almost always with better quality and response times
than big closed source vendors
OR
you can rely on local expert vendors (like you) who can give personalized
local support and
whose livelihood depends on it (as opposed to some customer support
representative in India who could care less).
Better quality support translates to lower TCO and higher success rates for
product development
