General OpenPOWER Discussion / Re: critical mass of developers

We need to increase the community size. The critical enabler was to have machines to buy, Raptor CS did that (I don't see why IBM did not, as it is really correlated with the success of the architecture). There are some Linux distributions. Now the sell process might be easier, at least in Europe (but will that also mean cheaper?). Fixing and improving apps will help to bring this ecosystem at a user level.
I don't know about the big upstream communities but providing patches to other open source projects will make POWER more visible ... what may make it more attractive.
About old hardware, do you think about ppc64-le hardware only or not?
