I think another way to look at this is to try to see it from the
outside. Why would or should some outside organization donate to this
meeting? What's in it for them? We know it doesn't have to be some
monetary return for some corporation, but still, of the various meetings
and organizations that are out there, why donate to LGM?

We have to try to begin to answer this question.

Having said this, I have put out a feeler to Red Hat, and so far the
response has been rather feeble.
