This is such a cool idea. Does anyone know how much this would cost? How
could we organize one year's worth of ads? I think I might be able to get
eXtropia to donate some money towards this....maybe Stas can talk to Intel.
It could be pitched both as a donation back to the community and as a
marketing and PR thing.
Is there a way that we can use this advocacy forum to do more than just
discuss. Can we use a specific and defined project like this to get
ourselves organized? We have one dedicated open source evangelist at
eXtropia who I could donate for some hours a week to manage some
process....but we as a group need to define the scope of the project,
milestones, deliverables, etc....
