By the way I think this is missing a lot on Free Pascal.
You guys could start calling enterprises to support the project. Have
a meeting, present the project and then ask for hardware / money to
pay development. I know many project witch greatly benefited from
this.
I have some experience with this kind of thing and I can tell you that
this ins´t as hard as it sounds.
It's not so much the 'hard' that is the problem.
As with the PR thing: The core developers really don't have time for this.
It takes a lot of effort: prepare, go there (costs again money), follow-

never seen people sticking out their neck and actually doing something
along these lines. It takes long-range commitment, which is probably
what scares many people off...
