Meaning that: 1) large orgs should donate to TDF? 2) large orgs should buy services from ecosystem companies? 3) both? These are largely different problems with different solutions. > [...] For > example when C'bra first went into business - we sunk Eur 100k+ into > a full-time sales & marketing person mostly focused on governments > for over a year.

This speaks to problem 2, which is first and foremost the responsibility of ecosystem companies to solve, with secondary support from TDF [1]. Some interests are shared between TDF and companies, and some interests conflict, and that's right and healthy in my view. For the sake of constructive debate let's keep clear who is being recommended to do what. Brainstorming potential ecosystem company strategy case-by-case could be a useful exercise, but I'm frustrated when the problems and goals interchange and merge. Thanks, Sam. 1. Disclosure: I worked in the aforementioned marketing team as some of you know, and experienced many challenges marketing LO products and services in that role
