ROTFL.

Not only do I not think this belongs on this list, but it's ridiculous.

If I were in a position to sponsor anyone for more than a felafel at a 
stand up kiosk, I would consider this so unreasonable that it's just 
laughable. As I said, IF I were going to fund someone, I might consider 
a plan that includes 2 $1,000 airplane tickets, and about $1,000 a week 
for hotel, food, transportation within each country and train fare to 
the next country, for a week in a country to give 4-5 FOSS lectures, and 
then move one. You probably could start in the Irish Republic and bounce 
along to the Russian Republic which would take around 15-20 weeks.

Or you could the same thing for about 1.5 times the money in the US, 
which would take an entire year, one week per state.

But not just for a vacation, or for sponsorship opportunity, you would 
have to show off your operating system that lots of people use, or your 
office suite, Nobel Prize, or Olympic Medal.

No use writing an editor, no one is interested in paying RMS to speak, 
especially since he, as president of the FSF, ex ex*/officio/*

announced he was supporting the Palestinian Boycott of Israel.
