Divide these prices by 2 and that's the community group rate.
A comm. group is either 1. a 501(c) non-profit, 2. a local
chapter of a larger non-profit, or 3. a UC Davis student
grouo.

I'm cofounder & current pres. of the local Linux User Group,
which is a 501(c)7, and I'm asking if they'd be willing
to sponsor the ecent by acting as a wrapper org. (at no
cost to them, and in return for the publicity).

It's not TOTALLY off-topic, since there are numerous open source
Atari emulators, compilers, eyc., as well as ways for
Linux and Atari systems to hook up (e.g. StellAdapter,
SIO2PC, etc.)

Aside from one long-tume member encouraging me to ask un
the first place, there's been zero response... dunno if
that's good or bad. :^/


That said, I still need to come up wuth approx. $600 to
pay for one of these two venues, if I cannot find an alternative.
Any ideas on how to raise funds?

In the meantime, I seem to have very quickly come up with
something like $575 or so worth of give-aways for a raffle!

Thanks in advance,
