What choices have I got as someone who wants to work on open-source
implementations, but who can afford neither to participate in IEEE
meetings nor to purchase drafts?

(It occurs to me that maybe a not-for-profit can get a price

Also, is there any channel through which the undergrad project teams
that I advise can get drafts?
