If you as I support the Linuxshow be careful with donations before the bankrupcy, as any money will not benefit the show but the creditors. Maybe ask Jeff to to make a specific account for a New Show.

I would rather help them pay off the single expense debt that they have acquired. Every penny of that gone will help them recover faster.

If I thought it would work, I'd probably match contribs dollar-for-dollar (well up to a limit of course). Naturally, I'd want Jeff to make a few changes in return :)

Might be easier to just start a whole new project.
