I think we should make awesome free software.

I think there's a group of people that believe very strongly in free
software and will use GNOME just because it's free software.

But most of the world will use GNOME because it works well for them. (For
many different reasons: accessibility, cost, features, ...) To them, the
fact that it's free software will be an additional benefit, something that
makes them feel good about the software they use, but unlikely to be the
only reason they decide to use GNOME. We should include that in any
"marketing" we do, but I think most of our marketing should be focused on
the problem our software solves.
