[Debconf-team] sponsored tracks?

[Daniel Pocock <daniel@pocock.com.au>]

Has there ever been any variation to the existing sponsorship model, for
example, having sponsors for particular tracks?

E.g. if there is a free/open VoIP track next year, there are a few
commercial VoIP operators I could reach out to - such sponsors could be
asked to pay a premium for things like

a) having roll-up banners in a room dedicated to the VoIP for a day

b) someone from one of these companies could introduce speakers while
wearing a corporate T-shirt

c) if it could be made clear that the sponsor was not associated with
the speakers, the corporate logos could be overlaid onto the bottom of
the slides

and maybe some other incentives
