 @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. | 08:46:17 |
 ronef | Sharing here as well (From the Foundation Channel): we have the biweekly board today in 45 minutes, added it
Will summarize and share | 14:48:01 |
 joepie91 🏳️🌈 | this should probably be mentioned here: https://nixos-users-against-mic-sponsorship.github.io/ | 16:36:38 |
| ronef | Apologies for delays. Wifi on flights... will be landing and sending. | 17:43:14 |
| ronef | While I have a sliver of connection, dropping a small part. Proposing an open board call tomorrow instead of next week. Will try to make it as universal as possible in terms of timing | 18:08:08 |

| ronef | The open call will be at 17:00CET
I'll add it to the Nix Calendar with the conference call details (my default is zoom or gmeets) open to change platforms if folks prefer another one. | 21:37:00 |

| ronef | FYI - 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 area | 00:04:50 |

| ronef | For reference what a mechanical is, it's the physical signs | 00:06:45 |

Submitted an update to the proposed policy: https://github.com/NixOS/foundation/issues/110#issuecomment-2002915462 thanks, left a short reply there trying to clarify some of the distinctions around "endorsement"/"sponsorship"/"advertisement". wasn't sure the best venue for that discussion: happy to move it here if you prefer. | 05:58:56 |
| tomberek | This thread is fine to discuss, but we should write any conclusions back into the issue.
Of the material benefits mentioned, I think the most relevant+valuable you mention is that of having a booth. Things like logo placement are common with donations as well (see our Open Collective); these are not really advertising, it would be more accurate to say it is acknowledgment, a thank you. I highly doubt companies go around donating to various funds due to the high advertising value of logo placements on such thank-you webpages or conference brochures. The positive messaging is the first component mentioned; this is far more applicable to something usually called "partnerships", a closer relationship that can imply endorsement and a shared vision.
This is how I view these distinctions. I do understand the desire not to endorse; and I don't see necessarily see any happening. | 06:23:07 |
