Thanks for the examples. We should almost start a new thread and get 
member ideas of possible projects that we could run to advertise LibO. 
The we would at least have starting points from which to pick and choose.

The obvious would be participating at events and having flyers for 
distribution at a LibO table.

* Note I'll start a new thread with your cost breakdown. It may be less 
overseas.
