 @kranzes:matrix.org | Before we even got all the sponsors 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. | 20:44:39 |

Taking the risk to be roasted: per-se I'm not against military sponsorship. However (I'm not saying it's the case or not here, I have not researched), I would not like the NixOS Foundation to support publicly any company that was guilty of going against human rights. Again, I don't know for Anduril, haven't checked. *
- Nix community should be a place without conflicts and divisions, a place where people from all over the world can come and put war to the side, Andruil is actively supporting war and is profiting off of the suffering of innocent people. Military is inherently divisive, is this something we want in our community?
- Andruil works with the US military, the US military has committed acts against humanity.

 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 announcement which was public, NixCon organizers would be able to adapt the sponsorship packages to these policies. | 20:48:19 |

| @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.
