Wait... I _am_ getting spam phone calls to my cell phone and paying for them with the minutes wasted off my monthly plan. There are at least a couple of those "car warranty" calls a day coming from fake phone numbers for instance, so I can't even find a pattern to ignore. Plus, there are SMS messages coming in that I have to delete pretty often and God forbid I push the wrong button and read one. T-Mobile will charge me right away. What you are saying is already happening and it will keep happening. Consumers will bear the costs in the end.
Prospective gsoc student participants interested in improving Free Software Desktop Publishing are invited to look at Scribus Team's ideas list at http://wiki.scribus.net/index.php/GsoC_2008_Ideas. We are starting our second GSoC year and are looking for good student coders to improve the *nix/MacOX/Win32 Desktop Layout Software. Come in to #scribus on Freenode if you'd like to talk to us or join our mailing list at http://nashi.altmuehlnet.de/mailman/listinfo/scribus. We are open and quite friendly.
Are you kidding? You'll still have a PI, collaborators, granting agencies etc. "Aggressive advocacy" as you put it will get you burned in this day and age. I've tried it for years, but it only gets worse the more "aggressive" you try to be. When all your collaborators are using Word (with tracking changes)/Endnote (automatic references conveniently integrated into word) you'll look like a loon trying to wedge in your OO docs.
