Here is what I would propose.  We sell a maximum of 10 spots on the
banner.  We ask for 300 USD a spot.  With that money we buy 4 banners.
1 for Europe, 1 for Asia/Australia, 1 for North America, and 1 for
South America. We then also fund 1 weeks time towards the database. 
Anyone who went to the linux desktop summit can attest to how
important that was to many people there.  That would be a total of
approximately 2100 USD that would give an extra 900 USD for the
marketing team to use as they see fit.  Generic business cards,
pamphlets, booth design, etc.

Now maybe we want to buy just two or three banners where we have a
larger presence of marketing reps.  But that's just an idea.
