[mdlug] Penguins, start your engines!

I ran across this on the blog of helios.  It's an interesting idea, 
perhaps worthy of our support?  Quoting from the site:

"Marketing Linux has always been a tricky proposition.  As a community, 
we have relied on corporations who have a stake in the Linux operating 
system to market Linux to the world at large.  Today, we have an 
opportunity to change that, and make Linux marketing as much a community 
effort as Linux development.  That effort begins with the Tux 500 project.

"Our goal is simple: we want to collect community donations to enter a 
Linux sponsored car in the 2007 Indianapolis 500.  We need your help!  
If less than 1% of the Linux community donates $1, this will happen... 
will you do your part?"

This also might be something to mention at Penguicon, as well.
