HP Becomes a Platinum Member of the Linux Foundation 64
who_stole_my_kidneys writes in about how HP has gained a seat on the Linux Foundation's board of directors. "Snagging a first-class upgrade might empty out the contents of your wallet, but be glad you're not trying to buy your way to the Linux Foundation's top table. With a strategic investment of $500,000, Hewlett Packard has just become a platinum member of the body, alongside companies like Intel, Qualcomm and Samsung. In exchange for all that cash, HP gets a seat on the Foundation's board of directors and will have a say in how to advance the foundation's aims — and hopefully give Open webOS a gentle push, too."

I don't think that meets the HP bar for a rounding-error.

I tried googling for "500k USD into New Zealand programmers", but that doesn't make the conversion. Well, I'll try with Wolfram Alpha.
