I have been let known of an ambitious and promising project which aims to collect money to pay for a sponsorship of one of the race cars in the upcoming "Indianapolis 500" race: Tux500.com.

There are four possible sponsorships and the project aims for the biggest one, which needs $350 000. The lowest one is $25 000 and the project is well on its way to achieving this with its almost $1500 money already collected in only 2 days. This means that this is not a yet another lost cause. It could actually work! So if you've got some coins to spare, and you care about GNU/Linux marketing for the sake of better proliferation of GNU/Linux in the mainstream, it could be worth donating. I intend to chip in something as well.

I hope they will be showing this race on TV where I can watch it and that I will see a big GNU/Linux logo/mascot on one of those fast and furious vehicles.

Cheers
Danijel
