One talent I think Haiku could use more of is Evangelism!
The more people we can persuade that Haiku is well worth
using, the healthier the project will stay.
I Have the slight feeling that opportunities for showing it off
have faded a bit -- certainly in the Bay Area, where we used to
have venues like OSCon and the Linux picnic to demonstrate it --
but there must still be ways to get it to people's attention.
Maker Faires would probably be one good place. I was going to
try to mount something for the local East Bay Faire last September,
but I was a bit sick around planning time, so ended up skipping it.
Next year though... But I really could use some help if I do it!
Motivated students would be good, too, as they can show it off
around campus.
