Now is the time to discuss again an umbrella organisation to pool or put workers in contacts with users so they can get commercial support if they want. I think the recent changes in Mysql's ownership has pushed a similar need, and their answer is the Open Database Alliance http://opendatabasealliance.com/ where individuals and companies can support the core open source software with their own expertise and location.
I think this model would fit EMC well and could be in place before the show. I name this ship "The Open CNC Alliance" what say you all? As I am losing my job in a month or three, occasional jobs like that in the UK would be nice for me.
