[advocacy-discuss] Who we need to appeal to

[Damian Wojslaw]

	A few loose thoughts, if I may.
	I have observed the adoption of Linux by bigger companies and in bigger 
areas and I believe that the biggest part in that process can be given 
to admins. It's not CEOs and CTOs that have suddently switched to Linux. 
They have finally followed hordes of lowly admins, which preffered that 
platform. I know, I have switched few companies to Linux as they admin.
	Other thing is, it would be beneficial, if technical univerisites got 
at least one copy of Solaris Internals. It's a fantastic textbook on 
working Unix implementation. It would be expensive, I know. :/
	If I understand, students have possibility of discount on certification 
exams? I could try and help with spreading the certification program 
around a bit, but I don't know how to proceed. I do, however, have some 
contacts around high schools here.

	Regards
