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).

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.

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.

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)

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)

Let's make LGM2011 viral.
