 Guillaume Desforges | * I guess you have a point, given that public announcement is part of the sponsorship. But then, if there was a policy for the Marketing team about official announcements which was public, NixCon organizers would be able to adapt the sponsorship packages to these policies. | 20:49:37 |
 @kranzes:matrix.org | * Before we even got all the sponsors finalized (as in, changes could still be made even if the sponsor was accepted, due to the sponsorship acceptation still being open) I mentioned that I would like to not get Andruil and other military-field companies involved, I don't want their money if it was made by profiting of the suffering of innocent people. I am frustrated that we didn't do anything about it in time, and even more because we prompted them on our social media. | 21:02:38 |

 Jonas Chevalier | ok we decided to drop Anduril as a sponsor | 11:14:31 |
| Jonas Chevalier | * ok we (the NixCon team) decided to drop Anduril as a sponsor | 11:14:46 |
| Jonas Chevalier | garbas: is it possible to edit https://chaos.social/@nixos_org/111007010535962541 to say that we dropped as a sponsor? | 12:01:42 |
| Jonas Chevalier | yeah, I don't have an opinion on this. Should I delete the nixcon_org account then? | 12:02:30 |
| @kranzes:matrix.org | Linked in too | 12:05:18 |
| @kranzes:matrix.org | twitter too | 12:05:20 |
| @kranzes:matrix.org | and any other platform it was posted on | 12:05:24 |
 raitobezarius | Ideally edit so that the historical message is kept | 12:07:45 |
| raitobezarius | For our own transparency and accountability | 12:07:52 |
| raitobezarius | No need to try to hide our mistakes | 12:07:58 |
| raitobezarius | The original message will live forever on any archiving platform | 12:08:26 |
| Jonas Chevalier | AFAIK Twitter is write only | 12:08:43 |
| raitobezarius | Better make it so that people don't need to link the archived message | 12:08:44 |
| raitobezarius | In reply to @zimbatm:numtide.com
AFAIK Twitter is write only Not if you have blue check | 12:08:53 |
| Jonas Chevalier | don't start another controversy :p | 12:09:08 |
| * raitobezarius refrained from a cynical joke with Musk | 12:09:15 |
 raboof | Yes, I can amend | 12:20:53 |
| raboof | something like: "EDIT: following internal discussion and community feedback we decided to drop this sponsor. Thank you for sharing your perspectives!" ? | 12:28:51 |
| raitobezarius | The ! is too much IMHO | 12:30:27 |
| raitobezarius | Maybe even the thank you | 12:30:39 |
| raitobezarius | This is too much PR parlance | 12:30:47 |
| raitobezarius | At least I don't want folks to turn their hate on the marketing team being "unable to see the proper perspective" | 12:31:25 |
| raboof | Just "EDIT: following internal discussion and community feedback we decided to drop this sponsor." then? Maybe add something like "We'll be sure to review our CoC and sponsorship rules to avoid similar scenario's earlier in the future"? | 12:31:29 |
| raitobezarius | You can even say | 12:31:43 |
| raitobezarius | We want to restart and run broader discussion surrounding this event and how to avoid it etc. | 12:32:04 |
| raboof | edited https://chaos.social/@nixos_org/111007010535962541 and removed the picture. | 12:36:45 |
| raitobezarius | Thank you so much | 12:37:05 |
 Bryan Honof | Ilan Joselevich (Kranzes): I can take care of LinkedIN. Will try Twitter, maybe we can just react to our own tweet? | 13:06:08 |
