Toronto Municipal Open Source Revolution, anyone ?

I concurr; a business format to the matter would incurr better odds than 
a pureley altruistic angle. But that is an opinion mostly.

OT, but case in point: when we put on theater during lunch period in 
highschool (don't ask...) for *free*, basically no one showed. But when 
we charged a dollar, we had alot more people. But if potential funding 
did come for such an initiative it could indeed be in the form of 
support fees, or salaries for staffing/contractors.

All the more intriguing now that I've been unemployed for a few weeks 
with no immediate prospects that meet my needs (in terms of interest at 
least). Is there somewhere (as relates to this particular/potential 
initiative) that I could help out somehow, rather than just sitting here 
idle? I don't mind shit-work if it really will make a difference; if 
something needs to be done it needs to be done.
