Hello Joey, With reference to your "Crazy Idea":
I am not a developer, but I do have good experience obtaining funding for things like this. I will give it some thought and let you know the ideas I come up with for funding. In the meanwhile; If you are prepared to accept funding from such a source, there is always NATO. They fund many such things if they are giving good participation to what NATO calls "Sensitive Areas". Such areas include Portugal, Greece, Turkey, etc. Do you have any developers in these countries? A full list of such countries can be obtained from the NATO web site (forgotten the address). Another source of funding for conferences is UNESCO. Also some countries such as France often have government bodies which will fund conferences in their country on subjects of interest to that department. Which makes me think of France Telecom using Debian........! Be in touch soon.
