How about a charity like NCH (National Children's Homes (http://www.nch.org.uk/) for you "dream" Alan? NCH I would think would fit the *high profile* category and maybe could provide an ideal set of users who could use the Ubuntu family products. In the first instance, I'm thinking more of the actual kids as users vice the charity office systems. Edubuntu would appear an obvious choice for a front-end PC lab/cyber cafe, allowing for educational use, Inter/Intranet access, etc. With Ubuntu server being used on the back end to web cacheing/proxy (Squid), Filtering (Dans Guardian) AV (ClamAV), Intranet (Apache) a great range of Open Source solutions could be demonstrated. (K)Ubuntu could be employed for adult/supervisor workstations. The longer term goal to hopefully encourage adoption of Open Source throughout the greater Charity. We could put together a proof of concept of all this with fairly limited hardware. Possibly using ex-corporate recycled machines donated by a sponsor? My two penny worth.
