I can see it now.  We'll build CLUE Centres out of old warehouses in cities
across Canada and house opensource research and development!  Don't laugh,
the old Gooderham & Worts brewery in Toronto is currently being converted
into an Artists Village.  Wouldn't the corporate benefactors of opensource
be willing to fund something like this?  Although, there'd have to be no
strings attached somehow.

Sure, approach everybody!
