try building up an inhouse team of Linux/OSS people it's a dreadful job, I'm the "Linux" person in my company and we use Linux in a wide range of things, It took ages to get someone to take over some of what I do, and finding anymore good Linux developers is quite a pita.. it took them 4-5mths just to find me and that was by pure luck that I was on my way to Australia at the time when I heard about the job... Granted little of our work is open sourced, we give back what we have to and some more besides so maybe Linux people don't want to work unless they are giving everything back ...
