Is it worth trying to promote those developer sites so people know about
em,   I am in Torbay Iam sure there are lots of potential developers
here,  ( I am not interested in quotas and the number of a particular
age group, we need developers)

I have a poster circa 2001 with Linus and one with Richard stallman in
the army recruitment pose saying "I want you to be an open source
developer,"

Perhaps we need one with Mark Shuttleworth in a similar pose,   then
include the website for more information.
