Re: Plone 5.0 release date

Perhaps a good guerrilla marketing kickoff would be (if Plone accepts crowd 
funding) a Kickstarter with plenty of really awesome Plone 5 schwag 
promised to supporters...

Set some reasonable goal, but use the funds to cover the cost of the shtuff 
(I'm thinking sets of Letterpress coasters :-), pint glasses, cool 
messenger bags, etc and even perhaps some custom add-ons, or Plone 
Consulting hours for a big enough contribution) since the PR value is the 
main goal. Fulfill through CaféPress.com or similar...

Don't know if this is possible, given the Foundation structure, etc... Let 
alone the logistics of running a Kickstarter. Just trying to think outside 
the box.

Happy to pitch in what I'm able from my strange domain...

:-)
