[lug] Seeking Linux consultant to profile

[Dean Brissinger]

Hi Corinne,


	Linux is a non-commercial product and is the culmination of millions of
people an organizations.  For your article to be fair to Linux and to
what it is, does, how it works for people and doesn't work for people. 
I believe that you need to address a chunk of the culmination.

	To that end, I want to see you have a great article.  And I request
that you also interview and include a spectrum of Linux experts.  Such
as a full-time private consultant, a black-sheep in a big corporation
that sneeks it in, a small company sys admin who builds all their
solutions on Linux, and even a Linux developer.

	Doing so, you can get a true feel for what Linux is up to in the world
and how it is applied.  You can also get a more accurate idea who is
using it and what it provides that they couldn't get elsewhere.

Dean
