This is an interesting question in itself. Will throwing money at Open Source events help here?
That's a tough one... throwing money at it probably isn't the solution... neither is ignoring it. Open source events are... in my opinion, under-marketed. Take the upcoming LinuxTag in Berlin. Some of us (who are close enough to attend) know about it... I go every year... but even though I know about it, I tend to totally forget about it until it's almost too late.. because it's not marketed.. it's not "in my face" so to speak. It's a nice event... Or another.. the OOoCon. This year it's in Budapest... how many outside of the regulars know about it? What open source events, or openSUSE events are people going to be interested in? What target audience would we aim for? The new user? The developer? How do you get the word out to that target audience?
