You do realise that many of the people who read this list are dreadful 
foreigners too, don't you?  Some of them are even the type of chap who would 
throw another chap's tea into a harbour and declare themselves independent! 
However, they soon came crawling back, begging to be ruled by King George 
again ... oh, no, wait a minute ... maybe they didn't.  Some even say that 
SuSE itself may have once had foreigners coding for it, though of course I 
believe that a system invented by someone with a fine old English name like 
Torvalds would never really talk to a person from a horrid, 'abroad' country.

But seriously, it's called 'the internet' for a reason, and you may find you 
get a more sympathetic response if you can tell us why you would want to do 
such a thing. Usually projects like that are associated with dicatatorships - 
I assume you have something more innocent than mere xenophobia on hand?
