Subject: Help Linux Flourish

Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their Linux
Linux has been making tremendous progress and has become superior to
Windows.
Although it is steadily flourishing, it is still not wide spread like it
should have and deserves.

A group of guys have started organizing a marketing project to help Linux
proliferate. You can find more information at the following site.

        This is the same approach that Mozilla Foundation used to publicize
and
advance FireFox and has proven to be effective and worth the effort in
increasing its rate of adoption. If you fell this is not what you agree
with,
please do contribute whatever you can and make your suggestion how the fund
to be used. There will be other programs that were (Linux bumper-sticker) or
can be suggested to be  initiated in the future.
        It is very important to grab this opportunity to participate to
advance Linux
usage.  I apologize for having to send this message in mass e-mail, but we
just wanted to make sure that all the LUGs are aware of this project and we
really need the help of everyone.
        It is also important not to procrastinate since this is very novel
effort and
keep in mind that only Dollars will make a big difference.
        Please, feel free to pass this information on and forward this
message to all
your LUG members so everyone could participate and help make this project
very successful.

        Sincerely,
                -Abe Osman
