>> As you doubtless are aware, Andrew (Lunn, I believe) attended WBMv4 as
>> an employee of ASCOM, a company that works as a defence contractor for
>> various armies.  What is more, he gave a talk in which he openly
>> advertised military applications of mesh networking, as well as his
>> company.
>>
>> I believe this to have been highly inappropriate.  By not interrupting
>> Andrew during his talk, we have all condoned his actions.
>>
>> I would like to suggest that advertising for military companies should
>> not be allowed at future battlemeshes.  Should, notwithstanding my
>> suggestion, vendors of military technology be invited to give talks
>> about military technology at WBMv4 in the future, I hereby request that
>> we should be warned of that fact sufficiently in advance to decide
>> whether to attend notwithstanding or not.
