I second the proposal...I think it's an excellent idea. While I'm a
lowly and poor vista, and can't contribute much by way of cash, I'd be
happy to put a little time into online aspects of the project, as
needed. Anyone else?

hi everyone -
the thought occurred to me that there's an excellent opportunity for some
entity (such as CTCNet) to hold a competition soliciting the best drawings
created with openoffice draw. a cash prize of several hundred dollars could
fire up the creative neurons of a lot of high school and college students out
there. (and the competition would be open to adults, and younger students, too.)
if CTCNet ran such a competition, it would likely get a link from the
openoffice web site and from some news web sites. the visibility of that would
be good for CTCNet.
put me down for $50 towards the prize money for such an award.
if this award were an annual award, CTCNet could give out cash prizes
for lots of different age categories. thousands of free software advocates
would gladly make $10 and $20 paypal donations towards such awards.
meanwhile, all the entries to such a competition could be assembled on
a free blog -- and would showcase the capabilities of this very useful software.
