I gotta get this off my chest but #Drupal has the worst fucking representatives.
Want I mean is the people introducing Drupal to the people PAYING for the development are usually PMs without a freaking clue of how things work.
It just makes everyone hate the system. Including developers.
You know who doesn’t have this problem? Microsoft Sitecore or Adobe CQ5 because these companies actually spend resources for their marketing materials.
Is it fair to compare to Drupal to Adobe or Microsoft?
Drupal isn't a company. Is it a suprise that individual companies with massive marketing budgets do better than a diverse collection of individuals and organizations at representing themselves and producing slick markting materials?
How does one fix this problem?
Should the DA be investing in markteting materials for use by PM's at various agencies?
Are agencies even "selling" Drupal or are they selling their own ability to deliver a product or app that meets their clients needs - and is "selling" Drupal really that relevent?

Hmm, that's a bit broad. Would you accept that there are very competent people in the #Drupal community? Including PMs? I'm struggling to believe they're all dumb.
Also, the #DrupalAssociation has some significant projects underway to actually do real marketing for the project. But sure, the competitors you mentioned have been doing this for much longer. Still, we have no reason to give up.
