One of OpenLogic's main goals in creating the Open Source Census is to encourage enterprises to use open source software by showing them how much open source software is being used. In order to do that, we need to make sure that we get enterprises to participate in the Open Source Census. 

In order to encourage enterprises to submit scans, for the next month we are offering the following promotion along with IDC. Once you (an enterprise) submit 200 OSS Discovery scans from your company to The Open Source Census, you'll receive:

• Two free hours of open source software policy consulting from OpenLogic.
• Two free support calls for any issues relating to the 400+ open source software packages in the OpenLogic Certified Library of open source software.
• A free copy of the IDC report, "Worldwide Software Business Strategies 2008 Top 10 Predictions for 2008".

You can read here for more information.

I'm interested to see how it works. Any other ideas on how to encourage enterprises to participate?
