Is that really necessary?  The OS community manage a lot without that kind of 
budget.  I would suggest that, much more importantly, we are not particularly 
good at 'selling' and we are disorganised.  Here is an example of my 
thinking.

This month's Linux Format carries a letter deploring the BBC's attitude to 
Linux.  I'm sure that some of you, like me, have already written to the BBC 
about this, but occasional drips don't do much good.  There is a web page for 
complaints, according to the editor's reply, at www.bbc.co.uk/complaints.  
How much more likely are they to take notice if all the LUGs in the country 
asked their members to use that page on a specific week?
