Thanks for many years of undying service and making this event a community one !

Amen to that. And as to those that worry about this marketing `takeover' -- in 
the end of the day - the ASF, as a fully volunteer ran organisation, relies on 
us, as individuals, to strike that balance that makes these conferences so 
attractive to us volunteers & our community.  We, volunteers vote with our feet 
!

So rather than worry about these sort if artefacts of institutionalisation or 
what bad KPIs \& wrong incentives can drive in a corporate world -- lets just 
make sure together that these conferences are what we want.
