*lol* But I imagine, standing at a crossroad and waiting for the pedestrian
crossing traffic light to turn green, looking at an OpenSolaris sticker just
displaying a green traffic light and something like

"all systems: go. OpenSolaris. Open Source. Rock Solid."

But indeed it seems a matter of who is supposed to be reached this way, and
where to place these things (not even talking about legal aspects of placing
stickers somewhere in public space :) ).

Is it exclusively "one" of the both? I think I like the idea of considering
it a heterogenous community consisting of these two groups, along with the
black-tie management folks wanting/needing to have something to rely upon,
same as the long-haired, bearded administrator kind of guy wanting something
both to play with and to get built, maintained, fixed easily. Maybe it's a
matter of finding the right kind of representation for the right context. ;)
