[CREATE] LGM 2010: sponsoring

[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi,

Is there space on LGM for a Market or so?

Whether commercial or noncommercial, many people (who do really  
interesting work!) are not so much interested in speaking or big  
demos, but would love to be able to hangout full days on a table with  
a computer on it, giving demos and having 1-to-1 contacts with  
visitors. It's also a great way to get into informal contact with  
developers from projects, people who typically hide in corners at  
conferences. :)

Best of all: sponsors love such events too.

-Ton-
