My primary goal was sponsorship. If not financially, then maybe via hardware for a future SCALE?
Cisco at some point sold Linksys to Belkin (or something like that). As you mentioned their gear tends to be linux based. And at some point they were trying to market to Linux users via the WRT-54GL line. Similar story with Dlink but as you mentioned sponsorship was always tight there.
Also I've generally been surprised we never see attendees and speakers from these companies given how much Linux and OSS they use. Even just getting their lawyers to attend the OSS legal training would be great.

I have some with two degrees of separation or so, Ilan. Are we looking for them to sponsor a particular event? Most all that stuff is heavily based on Linux so there's a straight line connection. D-Link is also in So Cal and I have a few friends there. They are notoriously tight on event budgets, though

Hi Folks,
Do we know anyone at Linksys / Belkin? They're based in Santa Monica and Irvine. Would be interested in seeingif we can get them involved in SCALE some how.
Thanks, Ilan
