This could certainly be a great form of GNU/Linux advocacy.  Non-profits could 
save a lot by going Open Source, and get higher quaility.  IMO, this would fit 
into the CLUE framework.  There exists a President, an admins and developers 
'committee', and a sponsers chairperson/committee...right?  

Why not add an advocacy committee?  One activity conducted by the advocacy 
committee could be orgainizing volunteer projects that bring open source 
solutions to non-profit organizations.
