There was talk of the LUG doing a block purchase:

I was tempted but scared off by the ominous warnings on the openmoko
site saying, in effect, "You do realise that this thing won't even do
phone calls reliably yet, don't you?" - looks like a very fun toy if
you have a lot of time & patience and low level (dpkg/busybox-level)
familiarity. The wiki reminded me of early Zaurus days, where anything
is possible but very very fiddly.... I'd love someone to persuade me
I'm being too pessimistic ;-)
