O.k. this makes sense. So the action that caused this feedback was: "The" PostgreSQL.org Developer meeting was sponsored by EnterpriseDB. And you feel that since it was a literal PostgreSQL.Org developer meeting versus some adhoc get together that it should not be considered sponsored by anyone except PostgreSQL.Org? I can actually get behind this idea because. It falls into line with the same thing we are doing with booths now. If you want to staff a booth, you wear a PostgreSQL shirt. If you want to present materials at a PostgreSQL booth, it goes into the PostgreSQL folder. It is not allowed out on the tables, except in that folder etc... Of course the question is: Was that meeting an actual PostgreSQL.Org sanctioned meeting, or was it just Dave at the behest and support of his employer organizing a bunch of developers for a meeting. Those are two very different things. Consider that PGCON is a commercial conference. I think it would have really been up to Dan to determine whether or not that sponsorship was appropriate, not PostgreSQL.Org. IDG does this for LinuxWorld for example. Sure, they gave us a room so we could have a PGDay but they have explicitly dictated how things like sponsorships are going to work. It isn't up to us. Sincerely, Joshua D. Drake
