some lateral thinking: do we need to?
I think the answer is no, and I'll explain.
First we really shouldn't care about saying how cool linux is to the

 big hoard of users who justs downloads pirated software and has no

 interest in trying out something really different, like linux. The

 comunity only looses energy with these guys and gets nothing back IMHO.
OTOH surely curious people who will try stuff out, report bugs, make

sound suggestions etc. (and then actually *make* music with the

software) I think are a benefit for the comunity.
Though of course a semplification, I think we can all agree that we

don't want the first type of users but we want the second.
Evangelizing brings linux to the attention of both. Instead just

creating good music, sharing it, making videos of the software on

youtube etc. filters out the first type of guys. So that's what we

should be doing IMO if we want to spread linux love.
