@pyrox:pyrox.devPyrox [Fox/It/She/They]I agree that not disclosing potential conflicts of interest in this discussion is highly unethical and misleading to others here, I'm disappointed that it was not disclosed, nor would I consider it doxxing yourself since you don't have to state any specific position, salary, etc, just that you work for that company(or even just saying that you work for a military contractor in general, in this case, I think would be helpful, since you make it clear that you're working at least for a similar organization, though specificity would be preferred)22:28:38

Are they currently used in any conflicts?
I don't think so yet. I don't think they won any military tender offers so far.

@schmittlauch:ohai.isschmittlauch (he/him) One further vector in the specific case of Anduril is that it is a company founded by Palmer Lucky and working on stopping what they call "illegal migration", also often known as "people on the move for a place of safety".
NixCon'23 was a rather diverse and queer place, I'm not sure how well this goes with a right-wing sponsor.

@patka_123:matrix.org@patka_123:matrix.org Is there a possibility to have someone from the foundation answering or giving a statement somewhere?

It's nice to have a place for concerns, but not if it falls of deaf ears.

@ronef:matrix.orgronefFYI - One of the action items was to update the sponsorship tiers to reflect current reality. I added that on the discourse. copying here as well: We will not have promo videos. We will not have logo on screens during breaks Some sponsors are not shown on mechanicals around the conference area00:04:50
