they hadn't the first clue about Free software. I'm sure this applied to many of the attendees as well. Was the situation improved this year?
Not as far as I found, but I was not there for long this year, preferring to meet cool people like Jon Masters, Hugo Mills and others.
One argument that could be used it that given the savings the company makes by using free software over proprietary alternatives, could part of that saving be donated to free software projects?
I am delighted to receive donations and add them to the AFFS funds intended for free software projects (something over 700 pounds at present IIRC), but I feel a little uncomfortable really driving for them until there is a decided way to use that money.
