yes, hurd seems less relevant right now and would confuse
perhaps.

enterprises are a tad bigger then companies. Nokia and HP are
enterprises, Movia is a company, only.

i think that represntation is good. i would perhaps stress that
we are short of money and could not really afford to pay for
those rooms. a phrase i use in my mails to companies is:
=====
Because the Debian Project doesn't engage in commercial
activities, it depends on donations from well-wishers. A modest
amount of sponsorship by NetApp would not only help Debian
immensely but would reap huge dividends in terms of goodwill in
the Linux community at large.
=====
feel free to cherry-pick!
well, we would need more then a "modest amount" from HUT for the
rooms. but then it does not really hurt them that badly since
they can hide it in their running costs.
