I wonder if we can partner with a hardware manufacturer. For example I
know tha Zonboo and Koolu are companies specializing in small "green"
computers. However the fact that they just have started might also face
marketing challenges and 'getting the word out'.
I bet they will LOVE to see their brand on every cereal box. Also it might
be a perfect 'kids pc'.

Also there is other companies that are FLOSS-friendly that might be
interested:

So the main thing now is strategy. IMHO we would be better finding a
big supplier and in-effect outsourcing the box tokens to them.
However, I'm sure they'll want to know the benefit to them. I suppose if
we say 1,000 gets you a computer for the school - and 10,000 gets a
thin-client cluster then that'd work.. but we've branched the idea away
from OOo on CD. (and from OOo t-shirts).
I think the box token idea is good - but for OOo specifially, I think
the CD approach would work better. There are already 'computers for
schools' projects - and our message (in my opinion) should be re-use,
rather than buy new.

Box tokens.
thats a really good idea as well as it increases incentives of "box
owners" to co-operate.
if the big ones dont wanna participate, there is a whole lot of unknown
brands distributed through the low cost wal-marts and aldis (european
version). its not even restricted to cereals - anything that is in a
supermarket and has a certain box size can carry the message/token/cd.
