I think that the Linux Foundation administering a marketing budget for MeeGo makes perfect sense, and I am sure that Intel and Nokia would be happy not to be the only people contributing to such a fund (as they were not the only people sponsoring the MeeGo Conference). That said, I am aware of the efforts it usually takes to get a decent sponsorship budget for a conference, and giving blind into a fund is not going to be an easy sell - there needs to be a way for each individual donor to have his or her sponsorship acknowledged on meego.com.
