agreed.

I most certainly don't believe they "owe" the LDP anything. We freely
|
|
gave them the right to do what they've done, we should be happy to see
|
|
they've displayed confidence enough in us to to do so.
|
|
|
|
I may not agree with the sentiment, but I do agree 100% with the
|
|
suggestion though.
|
|
|
|
I personally would be pleased to see a publisher directly assisting the
|
|
LDP by way of simple, short term sponsorships for events of the like of
|
|
the logo contest.
|
|
|
|
If the prize were a twelve month subscription to a Linux magazine,
|
|
or an open voucher for books from a publisher I probably might have
|
|
considered contributing to the logo contest myself.
|
|
|
|
I write, so I read, right? (sorry, that was bad :)
|
|
|
|
As it is, the prize is really only going to be of much interest to US
|
|
citizens because of the power requirements unless the hardware is
|
|
intended for an export market.
|
|
|
|
The real point here is who do we want the LDP to be seen to be
|
|
associating with?
|
|
|
|
I think it portrays the LDP in a favourable light to be seen to be
|
|
working in association with the commercial publishing community.
