so where are we going with all of this? I propose we either meet up or if that'll keep the ones overseas out of the loop, use some sort of web service to share ideas and stuff (ok I'm starting to sound like an ad for a social networking site). Again I apologize if I'm being too forward but I do wanna help see this through.
BTW I have an idea re how PLUG can become relevant too: I'd like PLUG to have some sort of web service aimed at helping OEM computer manufacturers aka computer stores and / or net cafes. These guys are aching to offer alternatives for Win to their customers and helping them out will in turn spread Linux to their customers as well. Initially all we need do is offer a set of YM (or other instant messenger - doesn't matter) identities for them to contact whenever they have probs. In return, since these are businesses, we have a ready set of people to ask sponsorship from. In other words, we need each other, it is immediately doable with little to no financing needed and promises a win-win situation.
