I'm not sure that throwing money into sponsorship in a Linux environment would necessarily gain adoption. Great programs and software suites seem to emerge all of the time. Having a great tool for the job is probably more important IMHO, and we have that. Having a good relationship with the Linux community is an awesome step forward though, and this is great news. I'm just saying don't necessarily chuck a bunch of Tennessee money into it because if it's good then the community will react accordingly anyway.
Top work, guys. 
A good point. I agree Linux's (and maybe the open source ecosystem at large's) more organic adoption may not be served by trying to push NXT too aggressively, lest we go past promotion into perceived shilling. While I trust that Damelon, EvilDave, JL777 and others have many irons in the fire that continue to reinforce the small-f foundation, I wonder what other large-scale avenues NXT--its core, supporters, and advocates in the community--can continue to target that may be 1) unaware of NXT's platform offerings, 2) well served by its relatively modular flexibility, and 3) tie directly into a large user base that expands beyond the typical crypto-adept population without going against the philosophy of NXT. I.e., I wonder how many NXTers want to see NXT tied in much with R3CEV (beyond the desire for a higher potential valuation)
That said, the idea of the NXT NRS being the MS/OpenOffice-style "default", easy, free, and ready-to-go toolkit for businesses
-group voting (of owners, shareholders or even customers)
-recording ownership (singleton assets or otherwise)
-reward points (as an MS currency)
-fundraising/rewards (in the form of dividends on assets)
-etc.
seems appealing and a natural fit, not even touching on the current and future DeBuNe-specific additions.
I suspect capodieci's note about making the NRS included with distro releases was half-joking, but I can hardly imagine a better inclusion for a small business/freelancer looking to build an infrastructure inexpensively with Linux. Wwhat a huge accomplishment that would be; maybe raspbian/noobs/ubuntu to start

. Hopefully that could be a real consideration down the line as the Linux foundation relationship grows!
Thanks to all the NXTers driving this forward. I hope to find the niche I can add value to and join the ranks.
