I love the idea of this stick - and I don't doubt anyone thinks it is a<br>
bad idea.<br>

Otoh, this is buying something that can take a big bite out of the<br>
Ubuntu-be budget. If we want to do this, we'd better do it right (= well<br>
organized).<br>

Starting a vzw isn't going to happen yet... at least the first few<br>
months (maybe a year), we'll see what direction we grow.<br>
But if this idea is sustainable (organized from the base), I think we<br>
can make this happen. So it's up to y'all to organize this one:<br>
