The world of FOSS is so rich, it'll be not much of a problem
to agree on core technologies (apache, postfix, iptables, gnupg, mysql
rsync, python, and various apps on top of it, the list goes on)

But the one major question remains (and I insist):
How do we manage to get attention from the ones in the SME world

And the answer is not: by creating a website.
We don't have an answer, let's admit it. (Wish that wasn't true)
