You hit the nail on the head there. It's true. In their minds, why would an 'IT professional' listen to a person who more often than not is 'an enthusiastic volunteer'? A more useful way to go about promoting corporate adoption of Ubuntu may be to create a website featuring businesses and Government agencies who have *already* adopted Ubuntu. Look what Google do here with Google Apps: http://www.google.com/apps/intl/en-GB/customers/index.html The Ubuntu-UK team could make an effort to maintain something similar. It seems to me to be a more realistic and achievable objective. Businesses are much more likely to be swayed by their peers, rather than someone who has 'wandered in off the street' as you say.
