Besides > consuming oxygen, what's the real concern here? Hi Matt, I don't think sponsor slots per se are damaging, the problem is that they take up a seat. Combined with this fanatic 'we must only allow our favorite 80 elite people into the room' idea. In this situation sponsor slots are costly and often a waste at the technical level. Same goes with having 12 committee members for an 80 seat summit, but nobody seems to like to talk about that issue :) Cheers, Jes - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
