[CREATE] LGM 2010: sponsoring

[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi Jon,

Can you explain this "ica" event, why it worked so well?

For me: I'd rather sit 2 days on my own spot demoing Blender, than  
doing a 1 hour talk. It gives groups a nice own hangout, and it  
stimulates inter-group interaction better too. You won't see me easily  
going to a Inkscape talk, but i'd definitely walk by a Inkscape booth  
to meet with the devs.

Especially on the LGM, it is a collection of many different  
communities. I would give each larger community their "own" spot to  
decorate, feel home, to meet each other and hangout.

@ List owner: can this list be configured to reply to list itself?
