I think also that many of the universities would prefer to see a brand behind their projects. They'd prefer to say that they have a project from Novell/Redhat/Intel/etc. -- names that they can then market to people looking at schools. Yes, they want names the parents know -- which means you need a stock symbol ;) I don't want to convey the message that all is lost, I just want those who try to expect a little difficulty for that reason. I know that a main reason I was initially successful is that I knew the professors involved. I've looked at trying to talk to some other unis that are local to me (physically) and wasn't taken seriously. So, I think if the GNOME foundation were to have a "program" that might add some legitimacy to the proposals. And it's probably easier than finding jobs for everyone at companies working on GNOME ;) --Ted
