I'm not sure I feel the same about donating for an Ubuntu advertisement as I would towards Mozilla. Unlike Mozilla, Ubuntu has both a wealthy benefactor and a fairly well visible support corporation, either of which could take the lead in doing their own marketing. Remember how Debian ran into problems when money came into play with some developers getting paid to work on Debian, which ticked off the volunteers. While I don't think twice about Ubuntu's corporate backing when it comes to contributing to the code, I would hesitate before contributing cash to a far more indirect benefit, like marketing. > ...if anyone could speak with the Mozilla team to find out how they > did it...please contact them. If you're taking the lead on this idea, I think that person should be you, unless you can find someone that already has inside contacts at Mozilla. -Tom -- Tom Metro Venture Logic, Newton, MA, USA "Enterprise solutions through open source."
