I appreciate the offer, but the funding is the one and only issue.

I have more ways to get conference facilities and network connectivity
for them than I need.

We're really not interested in things like this, but thanks for
mentioning.

At best what we do is allow one or two representatives from a major
sponsoring party to attend and give a presentation (netconf is invite
only, so this is a big deal).  And that presentation must be on
practical work the presenter has done or is doing with the Linux
networking upstream (ie. it can't be a "our company needs the Linux
networking to do X", some sales/marketing pitch, or "here's cool
proprietary Y we're doing with Linux")
