Spread Open Source
Can the idea of community marketing that is the success of Spread Firefox be applied to other open source projects?
I think it can and for this purpose a new website has been created, called SpreadOpenSource.com . Its purpose is to help spread open source solutions like OpenOffice.org, Gimp, Linux, Ubuntu, open formats like ODF and generally promote the use of open source around the world.
The more people use open source solutions the better it is for all open source solutions, someone who tried Firefox is probably more inclined to try OpenOffice than someone who didn't, and vice-versa. Similarly to make the transition to an open source operating system like Ubuntu, it really helps if you are already using programs like Firefox and OpenOffice. And anyone who uses Ubuntu will in turn probably continue to use Firefox and OpenOffice. So I believe they all benefit from each other's success.
SpeadOpenSource.com opened just yesterday.
