We don't have Ubuntu's billionaire backing, but seriously all you have
to do is implement a valuable idea and others will follow. Think like
the Ramones, if no one is making the music you like, make it yourself.
You don't have to be the most talented, the Ramones didn't even know
how to play their instruments when they started. By doing you will learn
what you need to know. The world is overflowing with great ideas and
even more people talking about great ideas, but is severely lacking in
people bringing ideas to fruition.
