Jo just commented to me that "It's expensive and cold"...

Does she have a point about the 'cold' bit?   Where is RMS coming from 
and what temperatures is he expecting?  We don't want to send him off 
shore with any bugs now :)

On the 'sponsorship' front, who's allowed to be sponsors?  There's a 
bunch of local businesses who prosper due to GNU/Linux but who also used 
lots and lots of very closed OS systems (how do you spell Cisco?)
