   @sysrich @linuxappsummit Call me a hopeless idealist, but I reject that idea.

   On some level, I want to believe that organizations integral to the Linux distro eocsystem -- and especially the Linux app ecosystem -- would invest money in order to gain more users.

   There is a LOT to be gained here, and a larger userbase cannot and will not happen based solely on goodwill and happy vibes. Money is required.

     Listening to @killyourfm at the @linuxappsummit panel

     On one hand, I love his impassioned "we need ALL the money to spread desktop Linux to EVERYONE" suggestion

     But he seems to utterly miss a core point

     People will only give money if they can MAKE money from the investment
