Could you elaborate on how asking colleges for (more?) funds will defeat any purpose? What is the purpose under discussion here anyway? If it is to promote FOSS and the principles of FOSS among students, I fail to see how it makes a difference to the students or to the spread of FOSS whether or not the college pays a nominal amount to ILUGD. If there is some other purpose please let me know.
