One of the things I think we should address formally is the idea of paid advertising on the LGM site. I'm not talking about just any old ads regarding p3nis enlargement or the benefits of acai berries, but some graphics-related ads (example: Adobe). Or even various players in the computing realm, open source or not (Ubuntu, Dell, HP, IBM, RedHat, Google).<br>
<br>
We live currently (subject to change) in a time where it seems to be accepted in some form, at various sites where free information is provided, that some ads will be seen on the sidebars that pay the way for this free information.<br>
<br>
Have we extended a special invitation for those involved in Google Summer of Code to come see what LGM is all about, so we can generate some esteem on their part for our various projects? It doesn't matter if this year's GSoC is already decided by the time LGM2011 happens.<br>
<br>
Have we rolled out the red carpet (so to speak) for HP, with its heavy investment and involvement in graphics printing, to be an honored guest at LGM? (With the tacit backup of contacting Canon or Epson or Brother or Lexmark -- ok, we'll be happy with money, but we want you to come too)<br>
<br>
Have we talked to any of these people about linking to LGM from their sites? (we're really not threatening to them in any way -- we're pretty benign compared to their real competitors)<br>
<br>
Let's make LGM2011 viral.</blockquote><div><br>All thins is pretty interesting.<br><br>One thing I would like to see quick is a link to LGM on all the major LGM projects' websites. This should be done now ! Let's speak out loud !<br>
