[Some quick fix : the LDP money has NEVER been used to send people to
conferences and will NEVER be used that way - and I am personally against
that : either we can find a sponsor or it isn't worth coming with the
hypothetic hope of recruting new authors or evangelizing. The money must
be spent wisely. Incorporating as non-profit org. when we will be ready
will certainly help.
The last time LDP money was used was for the shipping of books and cdrom to
a third world linux user group who had requested some help.]

Good idea.

That can be possible - who can come at the LWE in NYC and be at the LDP booth?
