I'm feeling a bit absurd comenting about vapour-money, but should the
amuta really
come across such a sum, I'd suggest investing such money in
prizes/scholarships to
motivate students to work on OS/FS projects, as a part of their academic
work.
In fact, in the great and honorable Jewish shnorr tradition, I suggest
the amuta tries to raise
donations for a fund with this exact purpose ...

Such a fund may do quite a lot in spreading the amuta's messages among
tommorow's professionals.
