Hi,
We are running into customer situations where they still don't know what MicroProfile is, or that it's just a re-branding of Java EE, or that it's monolithic in nature, ...  Lots of FUD.  Especially when compared to the Spring ecosystem.

One particular situation indicated that their outsourcing vendor knew nothing about MicroProfile developers, but they could get Spring developers at a drop of a hat.  I'm wondering if we have ever considered this aspect of our marketing efforts?  Targeting these outsource vendors with MicroProfile education so that they understand what we are providing.  I know we do a lot with conferences, and white papers, and blogs, and tweets...  But, we need to expand our base.  If we could get some of these outsourcing vendors to pick up the MicroProfile technologies, it would expand our brand recognition considerably.

Thoughts?

Are you referring to companies like Tata, or Wipro?
